It is becoming popular to write or have written your personal and family history. The Association of Personal Historians has grown to three hundred and ten members in just seven years. Instead of telling their stories themselves, people are paying from $500 to $30,000 to record their life story. Telestory in Nashville, Tennessee, offers DVDs, VHSs, or CD-Roms for upward of $15,000 and can include mementoes, photos, and even music. One man, Jack Segal, 84, of Tarzana, California, not only wanted to recount his life as a songwriter of such hits as 1949's Scarlet Ribbons and 1957's When Sunny Gets Blue, but he wanted his children and grandchildren to know that he had come to believe in God after 60 years as an agnostic.
Peter had his own story to tell. In telling the story of his vision at Joppa and the conversion of Cornelius at Caesarea, he not only recounted his own memorable eye-opening experience, but he explained to the people at Jerusalem that God intended that the salvation which he offered through Jesus Christ should include Gentiles also.
