The Whisper of Feathers: Stories of Maybes and Might-have-beens

The Whisper of Feathers: Stories of Maybes and Might-Have-Beens is a collection of stories and poems that has been spun around Biblical passages. The stories are set in biblical times based on characters and themes that could have been in the background of what has been written. Joseph comes alive as a real husband and father; the shepherds and the angels walk through these pages and become friends of the reader; the flight to Egypt has suspense and adds substance to the journey of a refugee family running from a political tyrant. The activities of angelic beings add a sense of myth and magic to several of the stories. The stories are what could have happened. They are spun from images that grew out of wondering how it must have felt to live the story, to have walked the walk with Jesus, to have held the hand of Mary, and to understand the man we call Peter. Where scripture is quoted, it is the King James Version of the Bible and is indexed for easy reference.
