Telling Your Own Stories: For Family and Classroom Storytelling, Public Speaking, and Personal Journaling

Telling Your Own Stories is designed for families, teachers, counselors, or anyone who wants to inspire storytelling either in themselves or in others. The book has proved useful for preachers, salespeople, conference and seminar presenters, librarians, scout leaders, and business motivators especially. Through a series of memory prompts, the user is led through the creation of plots, of place, and of characters. Donald Davis, one of Americas most prominent storytellers, offers his advice in this first "how-to" title.
