The Story Teller

About the Book

Being kind to others is a basic tenet of the Christian faith. When given the task, every local church could write its own storybook about the kindness of strangers. In the congregation sit folk with stories to tell---stories about kindnesses they received or about kindnesses they rendered to other human beings no matter who they were or where they were on life’s journey.

The Story Teller presents stories about the kindness of strangers. These stories focus attention on everyday happenings within the daily routines of life. Suddenly, out of nowhere, comes a stranger, the Christ in human life, to lend a helping hand, to heal the broken spirit, to bring hope to a world in need.
