Summary: Parables of creative imagery for spiritual reflection
Review: A marvelous collection of parables. "Barringtion Bunny", a Christmas story, is great with senior high church groups for reflection. This is the best known story in the book. "What the Wind Told Thajur" is a story of spiritual enlightenment with universal values. "Wood and Nails and Easter Eggs" is an Easter parable. It is the best fictional Easter story I know.

Summary: BARRINGTON BUNNY
Review: I got this book at a Presbyterian church in the Seventies, probably through the youth group. After twenty-five years I still cry every single time I read 'Barrington Bunny'. Sometimes my tears won't even wait until the end of the story. As Barrington is turned away from others' Christmas festivities and family gatherings, I promise myself to remember that there's people out there at Christmas who have no one. "The only bunny in the forest..."

Summary: Filled with simple truths and wonderful characters.
Review: I was read this story by my camp councelor at a church camp when a teen. 'Barrington Bunny' touched me so profoundly,that I cried for years whenever I thought about the story. Yet it taught me very valuable and useful lessons about life,people, love and sacrifice. 'Barrington' is an excellent,bittersweet story to teach any young person or adult about the meaning of TRUE love and they'll never,ever, forget it.

Summary: "A gift, a free gift with no strings attached"
Review: In our house, it has become a Christmas tradition to read Barrington Bunny (the first story in this book) aloud with different people reading the parts of different animals. I think it has made a difference in the lives of our children to think about a free gift, no strings atached, the meaning of friendship,or scary things (like wolves) who do no harm The Lone Ranger brings a new appreciation for the risk in taking religion seriously. The Easter Egg story brought major comfort to a friend after their child died. And the songs aren't bad either.

Summary: Stories to stir your heart and spirit!
Review: Long before the compilers of "soup" stories made their fame and fortune by gathering and publishing other folks' heartwarming stories, an authentic young cleric named Martin Bell wrote and published this exceptional collection of his own original tales of love, abandonment, and redemption.The best of Martin Bell's offerings is the Christmas story "Barrington Bunny." This touching reminder of the power of brotherly love and self-sacrifice -- a message that is, or should be, at the heart of Christmas remembrance -- has been a treasured annual tradition in my household and my classroom for many years.Even more powerful than the written version is Martin Bell's reading of his own work. Get his recording (also entitled "The Way of the Wolf") if you can, and have a supply of tissues at hand.You will discover this thin book to be an abundantly thoughtful and heartful treat for anyone who has ever pondered the real meaning of our earthly existence and our rightful relationship with one another and with our God. A refreshing antidote to the dulling cynicism and negativism of our times.If the rating scale permitted six stars, I would wnat to give "The Way of the Wolf" at least ten!{A note of caution: Several books have this same title. Only one is authored by Martin Bell.}
