The Flea, the Minnow, the Elephant, and the Whale

by Glenn Goree

Overview

A minnow and a whale. A flea and an elephant. Can this assortment of unlikely creatures assist us with the spiritual conflicts we face everyday? Yes. By presenting Biblical truths in parable form. Humorous but pithy stories told by these four unique characters offer insight into the words of the Apostle Paul in II Corinthians 4:18. ""So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For the seen is temporary, while what is unseen is eternal.""

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Glenn speaks to us in a beautiful poetic style. It reminds us how short-sighted we often are and how often we inhibit ourselves from experiencing the true blessings and grace of God. It is written with great clarity, rich in practical poetic detail. It stimulates and inspires us to be 'aware' of what we take for granted. This is a book that is worth your time."
