Lightly Salted Stories Martin Ramsay

Eleven perplexing parables for postmodern people. Our postmodern world, for all its claims of openness and progressiveness, is surprisingly closed and myopic. Many of the post-modern era have grown up with a staggeringly limited perspective; it is difficult to even consider such paradigm-shattering ideas as absolute truth, the worth of every individual, or the existence of a meta-reality. Perhaps these stories can help. This book contains eleven little tales that can jolt the reader out of his or her paradigm by creating an unfamiliar environment or a challenging situation. Each story is followed by discussion questions, suitable for opening up a dialogue about assumptions and a vision for other perspectives.
