Questings: a Parable Jonathan Bryan

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.
