Summary: Dr. Taylor's book hits the mark
Review: Short, insightful, highly readable, and mind-opening, this book sheds light, not heat, on such topics as diversity, individualism, and values. He helped me see the importance of taking personal responsibility for my actions, and the role story can play in helping me live up to my ideals. The idea of seeing myself as a character in a story gives me the perspective to do what I already know is right. Why is this marvelous book out of print?

Summary: Too Good To Review; A Wonderful Gem
Review: This book is so good I kept putting off writing a review on it, afraid my words would not do it justice.Daniel Taylor explores the ways that STORY has power in our lives. We have our master stories which shape the way we view our world. We have our cultural and community stories. They all are interwoven in the core of our beings. Somehow, reading this book, I got an image of Daniel Taylor as a gentle little English professor (Me being over 200 pounds, it's not hard for me to picture people diminutively.) I met Dan last month, at my StoryCon meeting and he is a biggg guy. But gentle, very gentle, and soft spoken. Yet his stories and his understanding of story are so powerful. This book should be required reading for anyone who works with story, any psychologist or minister. I mark up books with wise words. This one must have [drained] the ink out of two or three pens with all the quotable, wise words I triple starred.

Summary: An Eye Opening Book!
Review: This is truly a wonderful book, one to be read and savoured for the way that it shows us how important story is to our lives. I especially liked his section on character versus personality. Stories have the power to touch us in a way that nothing else can, and the only way that this book could have been any better was if it were a story.
