Stories have always helped us see what we cannot easily see in ourselves.

The parables in the Nelg Yor collection are written in that tradition.

They are mirrors.

Each story stands beside a road many of us have walked —
a road of striving, pride, longing, distraction, quiet unbelief.

They do not flatter.
They do not resolve neatly.

They reveal.

But they are also signposts.

They do not claim to be the destination.
They point beyond themselves.

Toward mercy.
Toward truth.
Toward the Cross.

These stories are only reflections.
The light they reflect comes from the Word.
