A word in season

a collection of short stories.

Plot

If you enjoyed reading the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, you will love A Word in Season. This collection of short stories will take you on a journey from summer to spring, around the world and back again via everyday experiences--made extraordinary through faith. More than thirty writers, including the ever-popular Max Lucado, have contributed to this compilation, which features factual accounts of historical events as well as fictional narratives within the panoply of Christian belief. The quality of writing is exceptional, and the descriptive passages immediately draw the reader into the characters' lives. Marlene Chase, editor in chief of Salvation Army National Publications, writes in the Introduction: "Authors who write good fiction enrich us by making their learned life part and parcel of our own, offering us the rich diversity they have experienced.... For every season of our lives, the story helps define our experience and move us beyond ourselves." Many universal truths are reflected in this book, tailor-made to suit a hectic schedule with its brisk narratives that can be read while waiting for the bus. For a dose of inspiration, try A Word in Season. It's chicken soup for a meaning-hungry world.
