52 Original Wisdom Stories: Short Lively Pieces for the Christian Year

Sid and Rosie are an older married couple, with several children and grandchildren. Through a series of short, engaging narratives we learn more about their faith, their feelings for one another, their hopes and dreams, and their perception of how God speaks.

Each story stands on its own, and the sequence follows the rhythm of the church's year from Advent through Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, and Harvest Thanksgiving. Between Pentecost and Harvest lie the Sundays of ordinary time, where the ordinary and extraordinary topics of daily life will be addressed: themes of life and grace, such as falling in love, marriage, birth, education, illness, adversity, hospitality, home-making, work.

These stories, intriguing and entertaining, are ideal as discussion starters or as read-aloud pieces instead of a talk or sermon. Each story is followed by questions for further reflection.
