Welcome to ChronologicalBibleStorying.com

African woman storying Chronological Bible Storying (CBS) is the process of encountering God by telling the stories of the Bible. In CBS we tell Bible stories without interruption or comment and we tell them in the order that they happened in time. Afterward we discuss each story and its significance for our lives. Each story builds on those that came before; as a result, the overarching message of the Bible becomes clear and we discover our own place in God’s story.

This site is designed to provide the CBS resources you need in order to introduce people to the Christian message or to help existing Christians grow in their spiritual lives. The same basic process can be used to start new small groups or to plant churches.

What's New Inside?

Upcoming Events

Orality, Storying, and Cross-language Story Crafting

The OneStory Partnership (www.onestory.org) is opening one of its foundational training modules to a wider audience August 7-15, 2008 in Dallas. This is the only time this open training module will be offered in the U. S. this year.

This module is for people who would like to experience first-hand how OneStory projects work and the oral, highly-participatory training methods they use. This particular module introduces orality, storying, and cross-language story-crafting, that is, working with mother tongue speakers of the language to help them learn the biblical story and tell it in their own culture’s storytelling style.

This is a good occasion for strategists and administrators to see if a OneStory project would be an appropriate strategy for their work. It is also a good opportunity for someone contemplating doing a project to get a hands-on acquaintance with it. Sponsoring churches may also want to send representatives so that they get a better grasp of what’s involved.
