Telling Stories

Phyllis Barber tells stories of many of the mystical aspects of Mormon dogma. She creates the worlds and the personalities who experience the spiritual events Mormons believe God offers to guide our lives.Mormon stories and folklore are an important form of spiritual bonding. Barber's stories tell how these miracles can appear in our lives. If they didn't really happen, they could have, and should have.Christ taught through parables. The storyteller's art is one I honor most highly. Barber does her subjects justice. Her readers will be rewarded.Some understanding of Mormon religious dogma will help appreciate these stories.
