Summary of Ian Morgan Cron's The Story of You

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was sheepish about asking anyone to be my sponsor, but there was this one guy who took me under his wing. I had been sober for only three months when I was invited to give a speech at a meeting. I was terrified of losing control in public. #2 I told the story of me, explaining how I’d always felt like a troubled guest on the dark earth. I listed the long list of reasons for my tattered self-worth, including my father’s death from alcoholism. #3 When I was a young boy, I was lost at sea with my family. When I began working on my issues in my twenties, the green shoots of a new story began to emerge. It took years of hard work and prayer to craft a new narrative, but today when I look in the mirror, I see a sober husband and father. #4 The Enneagram is a system that helps people understand themselves better. It describes nine different types, and the underlying premise of each type’s self-defining stories is in direct opposition to the grace-filled Larger Story God wants us to enter into and enjoy.
