This collection of stories—about confrontations with the Christian spirit that possibly could lead one to becoming spiritual or a dedicated Christian—are mostly fiction.
However, nearly all are partly true, having been taken from actual incidents that I or acquaintances experienced. Most of these yarns came to me while serving in U.S. military intelligence in Europe in the 1950s. Some stories are about Germans, some about Russians. Others are about Yugoslavs and Brits. Another is about the Middle East.
The latter—“A Different God”—is almost entirely fiction. So is “Roziana.” All have been borrowed from my short-story contributions to an international Christian web page—praise-and-worship—over several years. Whether a story is fiction shouldn’t make much difference because in the final divine order, it is the welcome aboard the peace train that counts.
These stories are directed especially to those who have just become Christians or who are considering doing so. They are to encourage the reader to face their bright new world. No doubt you’ve heard that old adage over and over—“The truth will make you free.”
Moreover, these stories should be interesting to non-Christians, as well. Wife Norma and I and our Christian friends at Smith Memorial Presbyterian Church in Oregon invite you to experience the world in a new light.
