Tales to Tell Aloud

Telling Bible Stories

Veronica Zundel

“My name is Aesop! Once I was a slave. Now I am a free man. I have refreshments to sell and stories to tell. Stop for a moment – and enjoy!” Bob Hartman uses all his skills as a storyteller to add humour, irony, action and clever dialogue to these new retellings of ten of Aesop's fables, which he has woven into an entertaining tale about a man who tells stories for a living. Included is a rich mix of familiar and less well-known tales selected for their relevance to the life of children today. Streetwise tricksters get their comeuppance, virtue is rewarded, and readers are shown the benefits of good behaviour - but with the Hartman touch these stories are far from being the typical moral tale. Animated, witty and characterful illustrations echo the flavour of the text.

Pip, one of the disciples, retells the adventures he had while hanging out with Jesus in this fun, quirky yet informative story from the master storyteller Bob Hartman. Big Bart, Tommo and me, Pip. Three guys on a three-year adventure. Hanging out with Jesus. Finding out what he's up to. Not exactly the best known of the twelve disciples, but we're on the edge of the action - out of the limelight, where there is plenty of partying, messing about and time to make an idiot of yourself. We're best mates. And Jesus' mates, too. These are our adventures; stories you'll find in the Bible if you take a look. Well, sort of, because everything is just a little bit different when you're hanging out with Big Bart and Tommo.

'Only Bob Hartman could tell the story of Jesus with so many pants, bottoms and nostrils and get away with it. The gospel stories from the point of three disciples who have a distinctly childlike attitude to bodily functions, religious jargon and the mystery of faith: Huge fun.' Lucy Moore, Messy Church 'My daughter was laughing from the word "Pants" in chapter one - biblical brilliance from Bob once again! Compelling & hilarious!' Tom Elliott 'Bob Hartman has the knack of finding humour in any situation. His invitation to hang out with Jesus will capture the imagination of many children. As they laugh at the antics of Pip, Tommo and Bart they will also discover the love and teaching of Jesus. Mary Hawes, National Children & Youth Adviser 'Laugh out loud, feel good, family fun. I love it.' Steve Legg 'Only a Bible story book by Bob Harman could have chapter titles like "Pants", "Leopards", and "Hankie"! The illustrations are brilliant, the application so very practical and the storytelling just what you'd expect from somebody who has held generations of children spellbound. A child you care for will love "Hanging out with Jesus Again." Rob Parsons OBE, Founder and Chairman, Care for the Family 'Bob's writing is just fabulous. The stories leap off the page - modern, accessible, and above all FUN!. These tales of friends getting things wrong, puzzling it all out, is a great reminder that the disciples were really rather like us. Bob's skill at storytelling is first class. Oh, and if you didn't know - these stories go back a long way! I bet you just didn't know how funny they could be. A fab book for your bookshelf, your eyes and your heart. Bob's done it again!'

Bob Hartman has an enviable reputation as a performance storyteller. Here are his insights into how stories work, tips and techniques, and how to retell Bible stories--plus 35 great stories to practice on. "Biblical storytelling can do one of two things," says Bob Hartman. "It can excite and inspire and create a thirst for more. Or it can bore and embarrass and leave a group with a sad sense of 'so what?' And that's an important difference, if you believe, as I do, that those stories contain something essential about who we are and who God is." Good storytelling, he explains, comes from blending your own passion, wit, and creativity with skill. This book shares the secrets of that skill, including: - The four relationships at the heart of biblical storytelling - How stories work - How to take a Bible story to pieces, and recast it to compel the listener's attention
