More Everyday Parables
Simple Stories for Spiritual Reflection
James Taylor

In his second book of modern parables, author Jim Taylor takes us to territory where Wikipedia doesn't exist. Where there is no "sure thing." Where events are ambiguous, unsettling, or just plain ordinary. A place where we, in our culture of "more and better" and "getting somewhere" don't willingly spend much time. Usually we don't notice this place much at all in our rush to get "the answer."

Yet every story, every event, however ordinary or vague, has God in it. More Everyday Parables contains the kind of story that doesn't have an explanation. Read more.

The Spirituality of Pets
James Taylor

Heart-warming and inspiring, The Spirituality of Pets invites readers to explore their own spirituality, through the lens of the animals who share their lives. As Taylor says, "You may wonder, can animals teach spirituality if they don't have spirituality themselves? Our pets may or may not have spirituality themselves - and by the way, I do think that many animals experience elements of awe and wonder, just as we do - but certainly our association with them affects our own spirituality."
