The idea behind Amazing Stories probably began as far back as childhood, when my mother would read stories to me. It later grew as I learned to read and became fascinated over time with history. And then, in my late teen years, I began to teach Sunday school. As that teaching (and later preaching) evolved through my adult years, I began to realize that God has given me a knack to hold an audience.
When I became involved in directing senior housing, I began to put together stories that would match our theme of the month. I would deliver these lectures twice a month and they became very popular in the communities I managed. Gradually I began to add power points, music (singing, guitar, piano, ukelele, karaoke), videos, and drama to my presentations until they became what they are today--a full-blown entertainment event.
Created to interest a variety of groups, I have developed over 160 of these lectures through the years and continue to add more. Each was created to last 45 minutes to an hour, but can be adapted to shorter periods of time. These are great presentations for any size group--civic organizations, churches, senior living communities and centers, study groups, etc.
Check out what's available on the LIBRARY OF AMAZING STORIES page. Also, check out the TRENDING page for those scheduled for the current and following month.
Don't see a topic you want? I'll gladly develop a new story on any topic requested!
