Not So Far, Far Away: Ancient Truths in a Modern Context

By Kevin Mills

Once Upon a Time, in a Land
Not So Far, Far Away

Jesus, the master teacher and storyteller, brilliantly used parables to teach, encourage, and rebuke his listeners. For the last two thousand years, Christians have read and studied these fascinating stories, allowing the truths contained within to penetrate hearts and minds.

However, the centuries and miles between modern Christians and the ancient stories sometimes cause confusion. Samaritans, shepherds, tenant farmers, and bridegrooms are not part of our present-day conversations. Often, the parable's punch is lost on our modern ears.

In Not So Far, Far Away, author Kevin Mills brings these timeless tales into our contemporary culture. The friendly, languid town of Mapleton, Georgia, is the setting for eight captivating short stories. Each one mirrors a parable of Jesus and allows the reader to view the original text from a fresh perspective.

Featuring an unforgettable cast of characters, these eight modern parables will entertain and inspire readers. Included at the end of each chapter are questions designed to enhance a small group discussion of the parable and the story.
