Pinstripe Parables: Searching Stories about Things That Matter Most to a Man

Pinstripe Parables is an excellent book written specifically for the Christian businessman or businessman interested in spiritual matters. Using the Holy Bible as a reference point, this book consists of twenty chapters, each containing one contemporary, fictional parable presenting biblical events as they might look if they happened today. Each fictional account is thought provoking and challenging, and immediately followed up with the Biblical reference from which the author (David McCasland) wrote his corresponding parable.The book is rated high by myself due to many factors. First of all, it is easy reading. Once would think that theological discussions are too heavy, and they can be; but this one is not. Each chapter is short and easy to read/understand. Second of all, it is practical. The Holy Bible has been the most popular book in history because it is practical for our everyday lives and this book just points that out. It is amazing how often - in these contemporary parables - I see myself and am challenged to grow beyond where I am right now. Then to take time to read the Biblical passage at the end of each chapter and realize how easy it is to understand...wow! Finally, I like this book because it gets to the point and doesn't mix words. As a man, I like it's direct approach and it's willingness to discuss issues that are real in my life, even though I don't always want to admit it to others.Check this book out or buy it for a friend (I just did). This is not just reading for the mind, but also for the heart!
