Stories that Speak to the Soul.

When Jesus walked this earth, He taught most often by telling stories. We call them parables. Afterward, He explained to His listeners (or, in some cases, exclusively to His disciples) the parallels and meanings that could be derived from the story. Fiction and Truth follows this effective format. Christian authors tell engaging short stories with memorable characters in fascinating situations.


Following each story is a brief Author s Application in which the writer suggests how the lessons of the stories can be applied to the reader s daily life.

Rissa lives a double life.

Since her mother died, Rissa’s stepfather, Pierre Le Blanc, has been her guardian. She hates the life they lead—always traveling from one place to the other—and longs for a way to escape.

Lowell and Ollie Jenson are brothers as well as best friends, working side-by-side on their father’s horse farm. When they become interested in the same women—Rissa Le Blanc—a wedge is driven between them. Her attention, swinging from brother to brother, only worsens the problem.

Can Lowell or Ollie help Rissa escape her emotional prison? Will the brothers find healing for the rift between them and allow God to work His will in their lives?

August Nilsson is consumed with envy for his older brother. Gustaf has everything August ever wanted—a wife, a child, and a home. And before it all, Gustaf had courted Anna—the same woman who captured August’s heart upon his arrival in Minnesota.

Will these two allow the Lord to speak truth into their hearts? Will August be able to overcome his feelings of inferiority to Gustaf? Will Anna ever see herself through August’s eyes, instead of believing herself to be merely his brother’s castoff?

“All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.” (Psalm 25:10)
