Description
We are made overcomers by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. (Rev. 12:11.) Everyone has a story to tell. Learn how to tell yours. Creativity for Christians is designed to be used by individuals or churches as a transformative and bonding experience. The first half of Creativity for Christians is a writing workshop, teaching the readers how to write their personal testimonies and stories of overcoming through a series of writing exercises and writing advice. The second half of the book contains stories written by members of the authors' church-Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Ardmore, Pennsylvania--who participated in the workshops. Their personal stories of overcoming all types of situations will strengthen and encourage readers by showing them what God can do. The reader will also see that sharing stories, even if only with their fellow parishioners in a church wide or church group project, will bring them closer together and strengthen them as a church.

Dear Elevator Group:
I picked up your book, Creativity for Christians, at the Book Expo of America and read it on the plane home. You are all incredible people!
Not only have you put together valid and valued advice to help a person put their story together, but in a way that is honest, down to earth and not "preachy."
However, in this process, you've shown me something that I myself should have done a long time ago -- tell my story. This is something I've shied away from for many reasons and, yes, embarassment is a strong excuse to hide behind.
As I read the book, I saw myself mirrored in the pages of so many of the experiences, and even found myself crying while surrounded by people because of the power behind the faith that you all shared. Your group not only has faith...you LIVE it! you all are an inspiration, and I hope you all great success in getting your message out.
Sincerely,
Janice Grove
