                 CINCINNATI, OH (ANS) -- Steven James is one of the nation's 
                most innovative storytellers. He appears weekly at conferences, 
                churches, schools, and special events around the country sharing 
                his unique blend of drama, comedy, and inspirational speaking. 
              Steven James is the author of twelve books and has spoken more 
                than 1000 times all across North America in the past five years. 
                When he completed his Master's Degree in Storytelling in 1997, 
                there were fewer than 100 people in the world with the same degree. 
                Since then, he has been in demand throughout the country as a 
                conference presenter, family entertainer, youth speaker, and performance 
                storyteller. 
                 
                Drawing from a diverse background in the performing arts and education, 
                James weaves together programs that touch both the mind and the 
                heart. His latest book, Praying From the Gut from Standard 
                Publishing proves to offer honest insight to teens in a practical 
                and relevant style. Through his writing and speaking, he has creatively 
                communicated a message of hope and humor to more than 500,000 
                people over the last decade.  
              One example of his effective communication and storytelling skills 
                are presented in Praying From the Gut.  
              James reveals that today's young adults today are spiritually 
                hungry. He says that they want to know God in an intimate way, 
                and they want to experience His power.  
              Praying From the Gut is a prayer journal for teens that 
                shows the importance of being honest for God. It demonstrates 
                that honesty is accessible to today's teens. He said telling God 
                anything and everything means to "pray from the gut." 
              When James is not busy writing he is making appearances at numerous 
                events and conferences.
