Papa's Shoes and other stories of life

by Mark Worthing (Editor), Pete Court (Editor), Claire Bell (Editor)

Fourth in the Stories of Life series, Papa's Shoes is a collection of true stories of faith, written by ordinary people who encounter God somehow, somewhere. Some of these stories are set, as you might expect, in hospital wards and graveyards, on mountaintops and in churches. But others take place along city roads, rural roads, manicured gardens, weed-infested ones, home kitchens and fast-food chains. It suggests that there is nowhere beyond God's almighty presence. Taken together, these stories turn our gaze to the vast immensity of a God who is near us and who cares deeply for his creation. In these stories, God answers existential questions, provides practical solutions, and reminds a family of his love with something as commonplace as a pair of papa's shoes.

The book has been quite fine. I noticed how each story is by a dofferent person, many being from different countries. A reason why I have this book is because my story and some of my friends' stories got in here (i dont know how lol) and it is a pretty cool book on people's stories.
