Other stories are true because they tell us something true about a real person, place, or event, even if what they describe did not happen. And some stories are true - even if they are completely made up - because they tell us something true about our own experiences. This charming book makes the point that stories, including biblical stories, can be true whether they happened or not.Item type | Current library | Shelving location | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
