Our Stories Matter

"Pastor Bill Grimbol has woven a warm, wise path toward hope in this entertaining book for all who need to disconnect from their devices and connect with their families and friends."
- Robert Lipsyte, New York Times Pulitzer Prize Finalist


Our Stories Matter invites readers to reenter the miraculous world of a good story. We live in a culture saturated with gadgetry boasting of easier, swifter, and far-reaching communication. The truth is, evidence indicates we're more disconnected from each other than ever. Sharing our stories in the presence of others nurtures the soul and leads to a deeper connection to those around us. It is in the sharing of good stories that we will be challenged to climb to higher ground - to be the very best we can be.

The Darkest Day: A Liturgy & Dramatic Monologue for Good Friday

​The centerpiece of this Good Friday worship service is the monologue, "The Ghost of Judas." Designed to be presented by the pastor or any layperson who can speak with a sense of drama, the monologue places Judas Iscariot at center stage on the day Christ died. His reflections on his own behavior, his remorse, and his deep sense of regret and self-examination lead the worshiping congregation to search their own souls, an appropriate activity on this most profound of all Christian days.

Life's Big Questions

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Spirituality 101
By Mark Kaiserman on June 12, 2002

It is a chance to value the common hopes and responses of two faiths when one faces life and death, pain and joy, or just in day-to-day living. Whatever your faith (or absence thereof), whatever your journey, everyone can find a valuable resource in this excellent spirituality and life primer.

Parents of the Passion

​We have heard from the disciples of our Lord. Each has told us his story time and time again. But what of those who knew Our Lord and his disciples because they had given them their life and nurtured them in Godly homes?

William Grimbol takes us into the homes of seven families in Palestine. With an eye to stressing values of a godly home and upbringing, the author helps us to imagine how the parents of Thomas, Simon the Zealot, Nathanael, Peter, Judas, James the Less, and Jesus must have felt, seeing their adult children give themselves to a cause which they did not understand -- nor, in some cases, appreciate.
