In an endeavor to find a fresh way into the scriptural text upon which I would be preaching, I began to develop an imaginary world populated primarily by wee folk. I found the characters I developed and the way that they evolved in my mind and, on the page, served me well as a consideration of how I sensed things happening in the scriptural text at hand.

I want to make these stories and the world they represent newly accessible, and so I bring them to book form fifty at a time.
