Great for quick reads.

I checked this book out of the library first, and then found I didn't want to part with it. Full of short little gems. I love parables to begin with - stories are a great teaching tool. This book has parables collected from various cultures around the world, on various topics. I'm a busy on-the-go person (like many of us), so picking it up for a quick story is a great way for me to get a thought for the day.
