If you have one buck and one hour, hop on over to Amazon or Barnes & Noble--today is the release of my mini eBook, The Man With All The Answers, and other spiritual stories for normal people. This ebook is the second in my series of short-short reading for incredibly busy people. It's also incredibly cheap -- 99 cents.

This collection of twelve very-short stories is fast food for the soul. You can read each story in five minutes or less, but the images and message could remain with you all day--or all week. From a Chicago city fireman to an Einstein-esque baby, the people in these stories will amuse and challenge you. Be careful--these characters could haunt you.

Some people will use these stories as entertainment. Others will find them useful as an imaginative devotional. Just because they are "fiction" doesn't mean they are not true. Pastors and small group leaders could use these tales to stimulate discussion and provoke people to reframe their view of spirituality. Parents will use these stories to draw out life-changing conversations with their children. That's the power of storytelling.

The short-short nature of each story means you can return to them again and again, or re-tell them over coffee with a friend. In the re-telling you can add your own twist or change the ending--it's up to you.

After assembling my first mini-collection of fiction, I understand the need to disclaim: these are works of fiction. Any resemblance between the characters portrayed and actual persons is purely coincidental (except for that one guy).
