Chased By Sparrows (eBook)

My whole life, I have always understood reality as a story. As I traveled to and from school, I imagined worlds outside my own. I turned over a single narrative in my mind for months refining the story and exploring the world through thought. Each story reflected some desire I was wrestling with, and each story helped me to reach a conclusion about life. I understood everything in terms of story, and I began to realize that many other people did, as well. Story changes everything. A story may not have actually happened, but the ideas communicated can sometimes reveal truths that no list of facts could ever attempt to express. I realized that just because something is called fiction, does not mean it's not true. Stories have the ability to communicate a deeper reality and they can do so in an enjoyable manner. Perhaps this is why God chose to revealed himself primarily in terms of a story, and not just a list of facts.This book sets out to do just that. I mean to write a book that follows two parallel love stories. The story of a man and a woman finding true love, and the story of a man finding his love for God again. This book is meant to show one thing: God's love. I am not a theologian, I do not have degree in philosophy, nor English. I am only a man who loves stories and loves God. This is not meant to be a critique of theology or a book on apologetics. If that is what you want, you will not find it here. This is a love story through and through.
