I have ended every chapter in my book with a story, because I so agree with you that story telling allows us to impart wisdom in a useful and multi-dimensional way.

For example at the end of chapter five in my book is a real life story of a woman, and her nearly ten year journey to forgive the man who murder her daughter. Her story so profoundly explored the reality that when we allow ourselves to be consumed by anger and bitterness, no matter how justified that action seems, it simply ends up destroying our own lives.

At the end of chapter eight in my book is another true story of a man who died for over an hour and a half. Mellen-Thomas is one of the most researched “near death experiences” other wise known as an NDE. His story is so life altering, that there is no way you can expose yourself to what his amazing death journey was like, and no be changed yourself. Yu can check him out at http://www.mellen-thomas.com

I also have some Internet radio shows, also called “You Are What You Love”. I have many different kinds of people come on and tell their stories of wisdom and inspiration. A well told story can be one of the greatest gifts we leave our fellow brothers and sisters.

No wonder stories have been around as long as there have been people to tell them. They can been mind expanding, heart breaking and soul enhancing all a the same time.

Long live stories!
