Safed and Keturah: The Third Series of the Parables of Safed the Sage (Hardcover) - William Eleazar Barton - Bog

The eloquent short stories and parables of Safed the sage ? a character created by author William Barton ? offer moral teachings and thought-provoking vignettes of humanity.
Dozens of short yet memorable stories comprise this volume, which seeks to promote the virtues and good deeds that make a life worth living. Sometimes the tales are simple observations of life, of chance encounters and choices made that goes on to make a positive difference. Other times the stories highlight the worthiness of qualities such as kindness, reassurance, listening, and rendering assistance to those in crisis or need.
Many of the parables in this text, while inspired by examples found in the Bible, are unique ? not least for their setting in a time where railways and electricity were already a fact of life. In all, Safed the sage is a wise and eloquent guide, using his parabolic skills to demonstrate what constitutes the eternal attributes of human decency.
