Immerse | A Journal of Faith, Life, and Youth Ministry

Formation: Jan/Feb 2012

• Resources & Recommendations from Bethany

• N. T. Wright, The Laing Lecture: “How Can the Bible Be Authoritative?”

• Michael Novelli’s work on storying has been very useful for me. A part of that work was the co-creation of an event called Merge. Merge was the camp I experienced and wrote about in the article.
  
  

  Michael has compiled a great list of resources at: http://www.echothestory.com/pdfs/Resources.pdf

  
  Michael has also written a couple books, Shaped By the Story and Enter the Story.

• Monica Osborne, “Art After the Holocaust,” published by Tikkun.

• Teaching Through the Art of Storytelling by Jon Huckins

• The God-Hungry Imaginationby Sarah Arthur

• The Seventy Faces of Torah by Stephen M Wylen

• re:form Ancestors is a youth ministry Bible study curriculum from Sparkhouse that I’ve been working on. We approach the Bible through the people and their stories (through a more real lens than the typical hero depictions in many Bible studies).
  
  

  The sessions create space for youth to do their own midrash on the text as they create and discuss.
