A Norange & A Napple: A Parable of Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246562376)

On the road to the Great City, a Stranger arrives in a small village carrying two fruits no one has ever seen: a norange and a napple-familiar as an orange and an apple, yet unmistakably other. He calls them spiritual fruit, offered freely... but not cheaply.

What follows is a quietly startling chain reaction. Some villagers laugh. Some argue. Some bargain. Some try to seize what can't be owned. Some insist the Stranger must explain himself first-prove himself first-become acceptable first. And a few, almost despite themselves, simply taste... and find their hunger named.

A Norange & A Napple: A Parable of Faith is a modern Gospel parable about the ways we resist grace, the ways we disguise fear as wisdom, and the strange tenderness of being invited into a life we can't control. With humor, poignancy, and a hymn-like undercurrent (including a small village song that refuses to leave your head), Tim Bryant tells a story for anyone who has ever wanted God on their own terms-until love arrived, uninvited, and offered something better.

If you've ever wondered why the simplest invitation can be the hardest to accept, this parable will stay with you long after the last page.
