Description
Book 1: Lost and Found opens the door to an ambitious seven-part series, offering 49 classic short stories inspired by the timeless parables of the Bible. This first volume introduces readers to a circle of unforgettable characters whose lives intertwine with humor, heartbreak, and grace—and whose journeys bring ancient truths into a modern, relatable light.
At the heart of the book are two brothers and their quiet, steadfast father. Tom, the responsible older son, is a man of structure and steady habits—boots lined up by the door, coffee made for their father every morning, duty written into every motion. His younger brother, Larry, is the opposite: a whirlwind of charm and mischief, unpredictable and restless, always searching for more. Between them stands their father, James—a man shaped by years of work and quiet love, who aches for both his sons to come home, not just to the same house, but to each other.
Through seven beautifully told short stories, Lost and Found reimagines beloved parables in fresh ways. “A Family Again” breathes new life into the story of the prodigal son, as Larry leaves home chasing freedom—and returns shattered, only to be wrapped in his father’s embrace. In “Lost Sheep,” Tom leaves ninety-nine safe sheepdogs to search for one missing pup, revealing the relentless heart of a shepherd. “Lost Coin” finds Larry scouring every inch of his home for one vanished treasure, and discovering joy that can’t be contained when it’s found again. Other stories like “The Good Shepherd,” “Tom & Larry,” “Pharisee & Tax Collector,” and “Two Debtors” blend humor, conflict, and moments of quiet revelation.
These stories are filled with humor and humanity—Tom’s dry sarcasm, Larry’s impulsive charm, Richard’s (and sometimes James’s) steady voice of wisdom. There are laugh-out-loud moments: brothers arguing over fence posts, joking about kale, or fumbling through harvest. And there are moments that stop the heart: a father running to greet his broken son, a lost soul realizing he was never beyond reach.
But Lost and Found is more than one book—it’s the beginning of a seven-book journey. Across the series, 49 parables will be reimagined in scenes that feel alive and familiar, inviting readers to see the Kingdom of God in backyards, kitchens, pastures, and family tables. Each volume builds on the last, yet each can stand alone, delivering warmth and wisdom that lingers.
Book 1 sets the tone: faith woven into ordinary life, truth told with laughter and love. These are stories that will make you smile, think, and sometimes tear up—but always leave you with hope. Because what was lost can still be found.
