What's Your Story?: An Interactive Guide to Building Authentic Relationships

DO YOUR FRIENDS KNOW WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO THEM?

Or is it the same old boring routine? Ask a simple question, get a simple answer, and never really get to know the person.

How do you build authentic relationships? Real, personal, intimate relationships? From discussing your favorite things to sharing fears, What's Your Story? is an interactive guide to bring people together into deeper, more meaningful conversations. Join authors Toben and Joanne Heim and others as they converse about their stories-their past, present, future, values and opinions, and faith. Follow their stories through essays, or record your own story on the journal pages. Break out of the traditional mode of conversation at parties or gatherings and get to deeper issues. Deepen your relationships as you talk about-and listen to-the things that really matter.

TOBEN and JOANNE HEIM are GenX-ers ministering to Gen X-ers. They learned to share their stories when they helped begin a Gen X ministry that grew from three couples to more than twenty in less than a year. The Heims led one of the small groups that grew from that ministry and wrote much of the material the group used. Toben spoke at the 1999 National Gen X Ministries Conference and has been asked to be the chairman for the 2000 conference. He currently works as the trade marketing manager for NavPress while Joanne writes and stays at home with their daughter, Audrey.
