Good stories can engage, entertain, and teach useful lessons. Exceptional stories challenge us to think deeply about who we are and how we relate to others, with a few even inspiring us to take action. Short Stories for the Long Haul is a collection of short, but exceptional, stories and thought-provoking reflections that will capture your attention, speak to your heart, and give you the insight you need to improve your relationships with the people that matter most in your life.  This book includes 12 weeks of daily devotionals plus a 12-week small group study guide.
