Everyone remembers and enjoys a good story - and heartfelt stories touch us in ways nothing else can. Jesus used stories or parables to emphasize his points and lead his listeners to look at themselves and examine their motivations. This collection of stories illustrating biblical passages from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary will touch your soul. Berg speaks to the person in the pew with accounts drawn from conversations with people, observations of everyday life, and a vast arena of literature. The material in this book will give insights to those who need encouragement and hope for daily problems in life....Constance Berg has a flair for using simple illustrations and making them meaningful.
