Available in Paperback and eBook on: Amazon

What’s Another Word for Parable? is the first book I ever wrote. It is a collection of 60 parables that I wrote over the course of about a year and a half. The parables take the form of the fantastical, the adventurous, the absurd, and the Biblical. Each parable is short, witty, and full of wisdom. In addition to that, each parable includes a “potential interpretation” and what inspired each parable to be written.

This is a great book for the beach, car rides, for a group of friends, a small group, or just for fun.
