All these stories will touch the heart: some will evoke laughter and tears. Here is a collection of 40 stories, each simple and to the point. They are based on lectionary cycle B. The stories examine basic theological and morale questions. Very often the story offers a surprise, an ironic twist or reversal as in the parables of Jesus. The collection will assist the lectionary preacher. Although created for adults, the stories appeal to children and youth.
