This collection is written much after the example set by Jesus' parables. Throughout its pages, it tends in nearly every story to state a clear, easily understandable example of something physical?something understood by everyone. It then presents a parallel situation that occurs just as often in the spiritual realm, and the spiritual duty or dangers, which are much more important that any physical ones. It then shows how these weighty issues are so often ignored to great harm, when like physical issues, of even minor consequence, would not be. In some stories, it showcases how doing right spiritually, though it might not be expected, also profits the flesh. It is a thoughtful little treatise on walking in the flesh versus walking in the Spirit.
