March 11, 2009For as long as humans could talk throughout the world stories have been told and retold. They act as vital threads that weave through the fabric of any culture. In any society they define the roots and significance of the peoples. World stories spread as the culture grows.
I have been blessed by the number of world stories I have found from my travels throughout the world. I have also had the opportunity to learn a bit about each country. In turn, that lends substantial meaning to the world stories I hear. In the process, I have discovered how world stories arise out of the cultures from which they are born. My firsthand experience of a given culture heightens my appreciation of their stories. My travels have taken me to Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Europe. I find myself amazed at both the differences and similarities of the various countries.
Some world stories are humorous. Other world stories are filled with mystery. Many world stories are insightful. Often world stories are inscrutable. Generally world stories contain lessons. All world stories keep us amused. JayStetzer.com
No matter what, all world stories maintain a deep bond with the fabric of their culture. The experiences of people are drawn in world stories.
Listen to my CD entitled “World Full of Stories” to enjoy the variety found in world stories. It is an award winning recording that will take you on a delightful trip around the world! You can find world stories and more at www.jaystetzer.com. See another site that is similar here.

And I am always on the lookout for a unique gift children would enjoy. Something that will last far beyond the moment of giving. A memorable story is that kind of gift. And it is appropriate for all ages, children included. A CD full of stories will provide hours of pleasure.
Blog is great.
Lovin your blog.
Keep the great information coming.
I was surprised to find how memorable those stories were. The messages stuck in the memory, too. The Golden Rule. There is no substitute for honesty. Take time to smell the flowers.
The questioning minds of preliterate villagers found apt expression through stories of magic and mystery. Cautionary tales abound, all of them containing messages to avert disaster. Do not go into the deep, dark woods! Keep away from wild animals! Do not talk to strangers! Then again, many folktales tell of reward and happy endings. Good and evil are eternal foes. One can discover the Golden Rule in most plots.
Love the blog.
