If Only That Horse Were a Member of My Church

By Charles W. Byrd

Book Overview

Enter this provocative collection of inspirational and often amusing anecdotes, one-liners, poems, and parables, and share in the "Inspirations of Artichokes" and "The Strength of a Child," learn to recognize "A Living Thief" and a "Burma Buddhist," and experience the self-realization of "The Gossiping Preacher." These 201 gentle lessons in faith, love, and Christian living will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. The volume includes a handy topical index, and is perfect for pastors and laypersons who need a humorous or poignant anecdote, an illustration for a sermon or speech, a short message for a bulletin or newsletter -- or a ray of sunshine on a rainy day.
