To My Joe: Modern-Day Parables for Modern-Day People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781943294756)

Author Donna Beth Timmons originally wrote To My Joe as letters to her incarcerated son. A collection of modern-day parables, these letters explain biblical principles and answer questions on subjects from the Trinity and abuse to abortion, relationships and other life issues.

With a degree in art education, followed by a 35-year career in the printing industry, Donna faced a son in prison and the loss of her drawing ability to rheumatoid arthritis. She began writing, providing answers to basic biblical questions in the form of parables simple enough for people of all ages to identify with. Each story holds the key to a modern-day question--how to live, feel or react to the world around us. Each also has a relevant scripture to accompany it.

Many of the stories from To My Joe were distributed for free to inmates, mothers, families and everyday people. Donna's stories reached far beyond the tall concrete walls and razor wire of prison to the hearts of readers from every walk of life. Now they are available for everyone to read, gleaning wisdom for living and finding answers to questions we all ask.
