A revival in the art of storytelling among mothers swept America in the early 1900's. Story groups were formed to practice and perfect the art. While storytelling has seen a new revival in the last thirty years, it has yet to reach where it can do the most good--the home. Much of the training available is aimed at the professional storyteller or for using stories in business, education or healthcare. Yet, in times past, the art of storytelling yielded its greatest masterpieces by the fireside while the listener was held close to a mother's heart. Two things have been lacking in sparking a new revival: a beginner's guide to using the art at home and simple access to stories that work well for telling. "Restoring the Art of Storytelling in the Home" has been created to fill those needs. Part One introduces you to the power of a story as well as basic guidelines for storytelling and age appropriate stories. Part Two contains over a hundred stories reworked for telling by the gifted storytellers of a hundred years ago. They provide a perfect tutorial for anyone interested in re-learning the art.

Stories of American History

Gordy, Wilbur F.

(Softbound) If Columbus had not discovered America, it is likely someone else would have. But what makes his story unique is the example he leaves us of the price one man was willing to pay in the name of faith. He had seen a vision of a new world and knew God intended for him to find it. We know he was ridiculed for his quest, and the popular story is he was laughed to scorn for saying the world was round; however, scholars and wise men knew the world was round. Perhaps the laughter was aimed at one man's profession of faith. As school children, we memorized the names of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, but few of us ever heard "the rest of the story." As Columbus' name becomes villainized in today's world, it's time his whole story is told and we realize he is worthy of our gratitude and respect.
