Opis

Popular author James W. Moore recalls how several years ago, while delivering the sermon at his church one Sunday morning, he had told a moving story about a boy and his dog. The author's then-five-year-old son, Jeff, was fascinated by the story, but feeling a bit uncertain about some of the details of it, during the family's car ride home from church, Jeff asked his father, -Daddy, is that story true, or were you just preaching?-

Highly amused by Jeff's question, Jim Moore went on to explain to his young son that there are two kinds of stories: TRUE stories, stories that happened factually in history; and TRUTH stories, stories like Jesus' parables, which are shared to underscore a dramatic truth in life.

The several short chapters and stories in this book are designed to highlight such life-truths, with chapter titles such as -Go out Singing, - -Roadblocks, - -Should I Forgive?- -One Step at a Time, - -Who's in Control Here?- -What Can One Person Do?- -Tell Me, Please, How to Be Happy, - -Why not You?- -Keep on Keeping On, - -Jesus: The Message and the Messenger, - -The Importance of Uniqueness, - and others.
