About this listen

Your Photo on God's Fridge Door is a compilation of 101 original and thought-provoking analogies and parables that serve as devotionals for the more mature Christian. Each entry's originality provides the listener with fresh insights into his or her faith.

The entries, drawn from topics like sports, politics, science and nature, provide the same kind of applicability to daily life that characterized Jesus' parables. It was part of the genius of Jesus' teaching that he spoke of things that were common aspects of his hearers' everyday life, such as agricultural images like sowing seed, or domestic ones like a lost coin or old and new wineskins. Your Photo on God's Fridge Door provides the 21st century listener with images to which he or she can more immediately relate.

Jesus' initial hearers were smart enough to know the difference between figurative and literal speech, and so are the listeners of Your Photo on God's Fridge Door. We would not take literally the psalmist's assertion that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress." (Psalm 18:2) God is certainly like a rock and like a fortress, common themes in the psalms. Yet no sensible Christian for a moment believes God is actually a rock or a fortress.

Most of the 101 entries rely on contemporary metaphors and similes, using concepts unavailable in Jesus' time. A few entries, though, are parables with a modern-day lesson, such as the one about the man with the laptop that he couldn't connect to his home network. Or the lesson to be drawn from an ailing centipede, who had gout in each of his hundred legs.

This diverse content, presented in an easy-going journalistic style, will attract and retain listener interest, with faith-related lessons drawn from individuals as diverse as Olympic long jumper Bob Beamon and US Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and topics such as flying fish, hardware stores, and entropy. And God's fridge door, of course.
