What Is Your Lower Story?



Thank you to Eagles Landing First Baptist for providing me with a copy of this book.  The Story by Randy Frazee and Max Lucado is currently studied at my church.  The
question that Randy poses throughout the book is:  What is the lower story?  Or what is the Upper Story?

The Lower story refers to life circumstances that we see every day.  What are you dealing with currently?  Each chapter tells the story of the many people mentioned in the bible.  Then at church we go through the video and Randy discusses it further.

The Upper Story is what God is how his plan affects us.   There may be a greater story that we are not aware of as we progress through the lower story.  

You can get many different versions of this book.  In other words you can choose the translation that works best for you.  This book accompanies different translations of the bible.  The chapters take you from Genesis and creation to Revelations.  The chapters focus is to take a book of the bible and tell a narrative and introduce you to the main characters. 

My Thoughts:

I liked this book!  I thought it offered a fresh approach to how we view the bible.  I love studying the bible with fresh prospective.  Randy will challenge you to seek a fresh prospective and apply it to your life. 

The only negative for me was sometimes the length of the chapters.  I was curious to see how they would want to cover them.   

A book worth checking it!

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
