Over the years I have written a number of short stories, essentially parables, that look at the Christian faith from a different perspective. 

St Martha's

The renewal of vision for a small hospital offers fresh insights for the church

War Crimes

A soldier is brought to trial over his abusive treatment of a prisoner

Disowned

A group of ministers meet to decide what to do about a colleague who insists on being different

Death Lurks in the Water

A man is seduced by the forbidden pleasures of the sea but soon finds himself out of his depth

Regret Eternal

A young man finds himself unexpectedly in Hell
