Inspirational stories with a Christian theme

Hal is by nature a storyteller. His work as an author is done in nature, too-out in the woods in a tent, writing in longhand. Someone once said that you can't write poetry on a computer. It's not quite the right tool for writing parables, either. But on the other hand, spreading "the gospel in faded blue jeans," these Christian inspirational stories, has gotten a lot easier. Enjoy your stay, here at our home on the Web.

Hal wants these stories told, so feel free to read to your heart's content. If you think about it, though, a book is even better than reading on a computer: it's compact, unbreakable, works in almost any lighting, never crashes, and never needs batteries. What a great gift idea, say for Father's Day or a special birthday present…
