Gospel Light: Jesus Stories for Spiritual Consciousness

Reading a book by John "Jack" Shea is nothing like hearing him tell a story in person, but either way, you will be amazed how his stories sneak up on you. They stay with you and continue to teach you, popping into your head at the oddest times. Although he would never make this comparison himself, I couldn't help but think of how Jesus used stories to teach. The stories seem simple, but can be challenging, with substance in each story that will unfold as your understanding grows. I get the sense this man has done some extensive study, lots of soul searching and spent many an hour in prayer. Thank you John/Jack for sharing your wisdom on paper so the rest of us can ponder these stories in our own time.

A master storyteller explores the gospel stories about Jesus as tools for spiritual transformation. Among the stories examined: Nicodemus (John 2), the baptism of Jesus (Luke 3), the healing of the paralytic (Mark 2), the woman caught in adultery, the road to Emaus.
