Abstract
-
en_US
This is a collection of some twenty-three Christian stories by Fischer, with several others by Elizabeth York and Daniel Fischer. I read the first three: The Boy and His Song, The Orphaned Moment, and The Chair and the Furniture Doctor. My sense is that all three function more as parables than as fables, inviting deep ongoing questioning about our values. I like the second and third stories particularly. The moment, after many failed attempts to get noticed by people who are busy and preoccupied, is enjoyed by each member of a family. The chair, painted over six times, is lovingly cared for by someone who knows chairs. Through removal of paint and painful sanding, the furniture doctor reveals the loveliness down deep in the chair. He then enhances that loveliness with stain. The chair's last realization is that it will always need the help of the furniture doctor.
