". . . You will find stories to calm, to challenge, and to inspire. A renowned spiritual storyteller, Shea presents us with an array of delightful tales that evoke the human spirit. . . .The book is a wonderful encounter with the great storytelling tradition itself, and a blessing from one of our finest storytellers."

 

 

 

 

Shea (Inst. of Pastoral Studies, Loyola Univ.) began meditating on the gospel stories when he was 14. His long apprenticeship with the gospels shows in his text-centered approach to the six stories he has selected, which enriches our imaginative understanding of them without the burden of didacticism. He offers a good balance of necessary background and anecdotal embellishment to help the stories truly speak to the reader. An inspiring, thoughtfully chosen approach to Jesus' life and teachings in the gospels.
