Listing this as fiction, or nonfiction ...actually, it is both. The first 5 chapters are about questions friends and family have brought up about the Bible. I also consider you a 'friend', so hopefully you can join others in the conversation too. Many people like to start a conversation, then they tell me they don't like to talk about those things. I respect that and usually just leave it at that, but I laugh to myself, thinking, "You just don't want 'me' to talk about it!" After all, I didn't start the conversation. But, I'm starting the conversation this time ... If you don't like the conversation, the first 5 chapters are not that long, and you can go to the fiction part of this book with 14 chapters of 'short stories'. Perhaps you don't like my sense of humor either ...but, at least I tried. Hopefully this is not a 'trying' experience ...and I won't accuse you of having no sense of humor, if you don't like the second section either. But, I'm guessing you probably will. I hope you enjoy ...both.
