The Candleberry Tales

Fiction

“Karl Lehman in The Candleberry Tales using his keen humor invites us to look at the Gospel in a fresh way. We are reminded that while our religious experiences may be messy and may look different for each of us, it continues to be an important part of one’s life. He also reminds us, as we read the journey of each character, that not only is it okay to have a sense of humor as we travel our own religious journey, a sense of humor may be necessary.”
