  1. Dan B. Allender _ To Be Told: Know Your Story,

    Shalom is shattered by sin, by the intrusion of a lie, a distortion of the truth that mars the pleasure of being naked, transparent, trusting and true.... shattering occurs when our dignity os assaulted and death enters to divide and destroy.

    But if we honestly name the passionate desires of our heart, and if we risk seeing those desires come to be, the plot of our life story will begin to move with greater intentionality. Yet the only way we can keep walking on that path is to allow our self moments to rest and celebrate the temporary climax of a story in denouement.

  6. Dan B. Allender _ To Be Told: Know Your Story,

    Desire lies at the heart of who God made us to be, who we are at our core. Desire is both our greatest frailty and the mark of our highest beauty. Our desire completes us as we become One with our Lover, and it separates us from Him and brings death as it wars against His will.

    In every story, in every life, there are moments of death that take away our name and rename us as strangers, orphans or widows. At the moment of being unnamed, we are thrown into our story. We lose the name Friend and are given the name Reject.

  12. Dan B. Allender _ To Be Told: Know Your Story,

    A denouement is not a complete or fully resolved ending but a satisfying closure to a story. {in French translates 'an untying, a relaxing of a knot of complexity'}Denouement is the rest that comes when all the disparate plot lines of a story, gnarled and taut, have been untied and an order has come about that brings a new moment of shalom.
