Stories in the Scriptures
By: Robert Crompton
Stories in the Scriptures offers a way of reading familiar texts from a fresh perspective. Robert Crompton comes to the ancient narratives in the role of a story-teller and asks, not, “What must we believe?” but, “What real situations might have prompted people just like ourselves to tell these tales?”In trying to find possible answers to questions of this sort, Robert finds himself drawn closer to the people behind the stories.

A Story or Two to Tell
By: Alan Crawford
A Story or Two to Tell is the imaginative blending of two stories, with my fanciful resume. All read to the eager audience growing in numbers in the aged care complex I could call home. I don't live in an aged care home just yet, and I'm not a psychopath. Even though the stories are aimed at a mature audience, they may sometimes seem immature. It's just the beginning, with more planned.Nearly all of the story content comes from my rather warped imagination, having been exposed to too much TV and Films, but some are based in reality. Of course, most of it is pure fiction. The first story deals with reluctant and good-looking food operators, less-than-compliant outlaw bike clubs, cult-like Chu...
