Once upon a time : discovering our forever after story / Debbie Macomber.

Discovering our forever after story. (portion title)

Summary:

Debbie Macomber has inspired readers with her stories for decades. Now for the first time, she helps each of us to understand that life is a story, part of a grand narrative that God is writing day by day. With chapters that cover the importance of literary elements such as characters, setting, backstory, and conflict, Macomber uses the structure of a story to illustrate God's hand in our lives. Each chapter has a storytelling prompt--a searching question that will help frame our story--and a sidebar that pulls an idea out of the chapter and expands it with practical tips. Once Upon a Time shares Debbie's love of story and helps showcase the big picture of the story God is writing through us.

In the beginning -- In a land far away -- In the days -- There once was a man -- And he went by the name of -- And in his heart -- And it came to pass -- He tucked the treasure deep in his sack -- He picked up the sword -- And there he met -- An old man sat by the side of the road -- The unseen world gathered -- Trouble was bound to come -- And the challenge of his life loomed -- And he was never the same again -- Happily ever after -- And if he's not gone, he lives there still.
