My God and Savior

My God and Saviour is a collection of short stories based on my understanding of God's nature as a Person and on the principles of my Christian faith. Many of these stories came to me as I meditated on God's word and on its application to my life. Most of them are based on biblical events, for example Gabriel coming to Mary to tell her that she will soon bear the Son of God. These stories came to me as I imagined myself watching these events unfold; as I imagined watching the characters interact with God, usually in His incarnation as Jesus--or with His angels or with His enemies--as the characters struggled to serve the Lord. On the other hand, some of these stories are what one might call parables. They are fictional and they contain a single point of instruction, generally about what it means to be a Christian and to faithfully serve the Lord our God. To enhance a reader's understanding of each story, it is introduced by one or more verses of Scripture, which are quoted to illustrate the story's point or to provide the source of its inspiration. There is also a personal note from me describing my motivation for writing it.
