Parables

From the medieval land of Concordia with its benevolent king to the modern metropolis of Major City with its superheroes, from a village in Asia long ago to a guitar shop in a small town near you, five fictitious short stories teach true lessons about love, forgiveness, stewardship, belonging, and redemption. In prose and in verse, with seriousness and with humor, timeless tales are adapted and new ones are introduced, and readers young and old are challenged to look for a deeper meaning wrapped inside each captivating narrative.

Benjamin Summers began writing stories in grade school but ultimately abandoned a journalism major in college to pursue other interests. Having lived overseas, taught high school French, and been a stay-at-home Dad to two wonderful daughters, Benjamin picked up his writer's quill once again in an effort to tell stories that leave the reader with more than just a wistful smile or a teary eye. He lives in the Republic of Texas, home of the best breakfast tacos in the world.
