Stonestreet on Tolkien, Eliot, and Stories

by Kevin Bauder | Jan 9, 2017 | Art and Literature, Culture, J. R. R. Tolkien, T. S. Eliot

“Don’t lecture, inspire.” So says John Stonestreet in “Tolkien, Eliot, and the Power of Story.”

Christian musician and novelist Andrew Peterson says, “If you want someone to hear the truth, you should tell them the truth. But if you want someone to LOVE the truth, you should tell them a story.”
