Stories are personal. There are no abstract, disinterested stories. They are about, by, and for people. Stories about other things are anthropomorphisms; because if they aren't, they aren't stories; they're merely instruction manuals or textbooks.
“I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller” ― G.K. Chesterton
Stories connect people because stories are made in the image of God. God is a Story-teller and begins His story by speaking words. Those words became flesh called sun and moon and dolphin and rock. That Word would one day take on human flesh in order to dwell inside His own story. The Author descended to become a character in order to reconcile them to the Author and Perfector of their faith.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith
Story always wins.
