Insightful Illustrations: Making Sense of Life's Ups and Downs: Stories, Parables, and Analogies that Help Piece Together Life's Puzzle

By David Causey

If life is a tapestry, it comes to us one thread at a time and often leaves us guessing as to what each strand means. Even with the benefit of hindsight it's hard to make sense of the tapestry's formation, because we can only view the underside. Only God can view the top. If the events of life are like the individual pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, then what hope can we ever have of making sense of them without seeing how they connect to all the other pieces? It appears that all of life's travelers are consigned to walk by faith and not by sight. We grope our way forward through the darkness, armed only with the suspicion that the Master Planner will skillfully weave all the varied color threads and fit all the confusing jigsaw pieces together into an amazing mural that will answer all our questions and bring meaning and worth to our suffering.To help his fellow travelers on this earthly journey, the author has drawn together a treasure trove of stories, historical vignettes, and analogies to nurture our growing faith and to, perhaps, unveil the hidden meaning behind it all. Locked away in these pages are 366 inspirational stories - one for every day of the year. They can be read devotionally, day by day. Or - for public speakers, teachers, and clergy - this book can be used as a source of illustrative material. A short topical index is located in the back of the book.
