"Dan Allender calls us to recognize that our lives, which often seem random, have a brilliant, divine coherence. Under his expert tutelage we discover how to discern God's hand on our lives and how to tell the story to ourselves and others."
-Tremper Longman III, author of How to Read the Psalms and coauthor of The Cry of the Soul and Bold Love.

According to Allender, your life is full of stories. Some are joyful, others painful; some take place over years, others in a moment. These stories and your response to them add color, shape, and texture to "you." If you're looking to make sense of who you are, the stories of your life need examining. Rather than passively allowing your stories to define you, this companion workbook for To Be Told will help you engage your stories honestly and open the door for God to transform and redeem them. The exercises in this workbook encourage you to write your stories, wrestle with them, and find God behind them.

God Invites You to Coauthor Your Future.
It Starts with Reading Your Past.

In this companion workbook to Dr. Dan Allender’s groundbreaking book To Be Told, you will find practical, easy-to-follow exercises to help you explore and embrace the stories of your life. The exercises inside will equip you to:

·recall past experiences and find the meaning God has written there
·understand how individual events fit into the bigger themes of your life
·write down your stories in a way that reflects God’s authorship of your life
·identify the passions that drive you, and see how God uses them to guide you into the future
·tell your story in a way that brings glory to God and reveals him to others
