Abstract

en_US
There are fifty-seven chapters to this unusual book. Each chapter, meant for use at a Christian family dinner table, includes finding an object, asking particular questions, hearing a story, learning from scripture, and saying a prayer. As James writes in the introduction, The kid-friendly parables and fables in this book will help you pass along important biblical truths to your children in a fun and engaging way (10). The stories are about a page long and often shorter. The first is about Wanda, a piece of bubble gum. She fears the Great White Stones of Death but soon enough comes to enjoy fulfilling purpose, to make great bubbles. The third story is about the chocolate-loving pig who could never say No and the stork who reacts to the pig's obesity so strongly that he can never say Yes. In the fifth story, a judge condemns two thieves. The one who actually stole things from people's homes needs to return them plus a bit more. The thief who only occupied people while his partner stole then expects to get an even softer punishment. He gets ten years in the penitentiary for stealing people's time.
