The Story Lives: Leading a Missional Revolution is a book for Christians who want to make a practical difference in their community. This book invites the reader through real-life stories and in-depth discussion to explore how to simply and uniquely live out the love of Jesus so people can experience a real relationship with a real God. The book seeks to equip readers to help people experience Jesus through acts of service and kindness in our families, neighborhoods, communities, schools and in the workplace.

Reggie McNeal, author and missional leadership specialist, endorses The Story Lives. He writes, “I love this story! Followers of Jesus who already view their life as a mission trip will find this volume to be very helpful in preparing for the trip. Others who are looking for the adventure of a lifetime will find in it a call to live—really live. Henriët invites us all to enrich the plot of God’s great story of redemption—starting with you!”
