There's no shortage of books talking about the importance of story, and for good reason. Effective storytelling is an important tool for your organization. But Storytelling is not enough. 
If you want an organization that creates long-term positive impact, then you need more than clever stories. You need to create meaning through narrative. 
In Culture-Bending Narratives, Jason Locy takes you through the process of moving beyond the fundamentals of storytelling and into a deeper conversation around the power of narrative. With narrative, your organization can challenge the way others see the world and invite them on a journey to discovering a deeper purpose and meaning. 
In the end, you will leave with a new way of thinking that weaves your organization's desire for a better world throughout all you do.

We all struggle with reading the Bible and applying it to our lives. We've all gone through seasons where we don't seem to get anything out of our time in the Word. The REAP method (React, Examine, Apply, Pray) is a Bible reading tool that allows you to go deeper in your time reading the Word and to be more structured about applying the Scriptures to your life, either individually or in a small group. As you read the Bible using the REAP method, our hope for you is that it would lead you into a deeper knowledge of God, a more intimate trust in His Gospel, and a more joyful obedience to the commands that God has for His church. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16 ESV)

The aim of God's entire biblical story has one mission, reaching all the nations, and one method, all believers. Finding your life purpose only makes sense in the context of God's plan to reach the world. -Claude Hickman is the Executive Director for The Traveling Team, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, and national speaker on world missions with a decade of experience mobilizing God s church to reach the world. -"A prophet to his own generation, Claude points his readers to the true North Star and challenges them to a journey that will make a world of difference." - Bill Jones - President Columbia Intl University -"I love this book. Claude does a fantastic job of pointing others to a purposeful life through the Great Commission. I am more compelled and motivated to be a part of God's plan thanks to Claude. I plan to give this to my staff and students as we mobilize- a great read!" - Shane Sebastian, National Global Director Campus Crusade-"Call this a weapon, a tool, a compass or a wake-up call but whatever you do, don t call this just a book. Claude Hickman invites Christians to change their major from undecided to understood. Awash in spiritual truth and marinated by a God-centered life, Live Life On Purpose is an invitation to humanity to comprehend why they are breathing." - Neil McClendon, National Speaker - Claude has captured the global context of God s mandate given to every follower of Christ, and has clearly articulated His truth to an audience that is paramount in the advancement of Christ s Kingdom to the ends of the earth. I recommend Live Life On Purpose to college and university students and those who desire to use their lives to impact the Kingdom." - Jeff Lewis, Co-founder of Passion, Cal Baptist Univ.

Have you ever known you needed to talk to someone about God but felt completely inadequate? Do you have more questions about God than answers? Have you stopped questioning altogether? 
In a chess match, tipping your king onto its side represents voluntary surrender. This is the true story of two colliding worldviews and their unavoidable evolution. Jack Crabtree--a recent college grad--is just dipping his toes into theology, when he meets Nick Chapman--a brilliant Philosophy Ph.D. (and childhood chess champion) who is searching for truth and meaning. 
As Jack and Nick dialogue about some of life's most fundamental questions, they discover they each have a few kings of their own to tip. Perhaps you will as well. You might even become a believer in the truth that God can use anyone to reach anyone even you.
