| MA RY TERESE DONZE, A.S.C., has been a storyteller mostof her life. During her 35 years as an elementary and secondaryschool teacher, storytelling was one of her most natural and ef-fective tools. In "retirement" she has turned to this well-honedskill to build a successful writing career. Among her "storybooks" are The Kingdom Lost and Found (Ave Maria Press,1982), Teresa of Avila (Paulist, 1982) and Down Gospel Byways(Liguori, 1984). Her expertise, her enthusiasm and her experience are allbrought into sharp focus in Touching a Child s Heart, where sheinvites and inspires teachers (and parents) to make use of storiesas part of their regular means of conveying the truths theyteach. She directs this book primarily to teachers of religion, en-couraging them to use stories as a regular method of teachingchildren about God. She encourages storytellers to approachtheir stories with acceptance and reverence, allowing their ownhearts to be changed before attempting to help change others. Touching a Child s Heart includes hints and techniques forstorytelling, sample types of stories, and suggests the broaden-ing of the story concept to include poetry and song. Not onlywill readers find practical advice here, they will find a taste ofthe freedom of spirit that makes the storyteller a worthy messen-ger for spreading the good news. |
