A five-time Moth GrandSLAM winner and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story — and why doing so matters. Whether we realize it or not, we are always telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a sales presentation or therapy appointment, with family or friends, we are constantly narrating events and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully straightforward and engaging tips and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing stories that will hold the attention of your audience (no matter how big or small). He shows that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the act of creating and telling a tale is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing your own life.

The Storyteller is a sweet and lovely tale about Curtis and Penny Hansin who, over the years, due to the many responsibilities which they now have, as well as trying to keep up with the daunting challenges that come with family life, have forgotten the importance of not only remembering the events of the past but also passing on those ancestral stories to the next generation. That is, until ten-year-old little Samuel reminds them. And so, after being taught by his great-grandmother Abigail from the moment he could speak, Sam makes use of his strong determined will, which he inherited from her. And with the heart of an explorer and the soul of a storyteller, he is determined to prove to his parents just how important it is to keep the conversation going. So sit back and watch how the past makes its way into the present while on its way toward the future. Streaking across timelines and long-ago memories like a comet. Carrying within its tail the many colorful souls whose dreams were once realized and whose lives were lived and who, by the gift of storytelling, will never be forgotten.
