Daddy, Is That Story True, or Were You Just Preaching? e-bog

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, "e;Daddy, is that story true, or were you just preaching?"e;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 "e;Go out Singing,"e; "e;Roadblocks,"e; "e;Should I Forgive?"e; "e;One Step at a Time,"e; "e;Who's in Control Here?"e; "e;What Can One Person Do?"e; "e;Tell Me, Please, How to Be Happy,"e; "e;Why not You?"e; "e;Keep on Keeping On,"e; "e;Jesus: The Message and the Messenger,"e; "e;The Importance of Uniqueness,"e; and others. This book contains a discussion guide.
