Questings: A Parable

This realistic parable invites your questings for your own answers to persistent questions about living, relationships, spiritual development, and God.

Why did that beautiful young mother have to . . . ? How could this decent kid become such an irresponsible teen, then a powerful, hard businessman, then . . . ? Why would a wise and colorful earth-mother, Nonchalance McFinn, living with her daughter Lilly-Belle in a shack on Nomanisan Island, offer such . . . ? Can you get the scientific account of our universe to dance happily with the biblical account? (Yes.) Why can't a bright young woman and her headstrong father reconcile? Why do good things happen to bad people? Why did the difference between spruce and cedar cause such a lifetime of consequences?

Watch seven people bring seven naive and opposing opinions to the table, and much later express seven well developed but still opposing opinions -- plus deep friendships with one another.

Frank Grant's life shows how people become so alienated and how they can reconcile; how they can grow up into mature spirituality; how they can better understand God's character and policies.
