The Rev. Dr. Carol Hermann has been a Presbyterian minister for some thirty years and is now retired. She had been serving small churches in the south central area of Wisconsin. While she loves preaching, she also loves working with children and visiting shut-ins. Because of the many experiences she has had in her work, she started writing a column for a local newspaper. She often used those experiences as a sort of parable to make a point about our Christian faith. Many of those experiences have been shared in her sermons. Other ministers are invited to use them in their preaching, as well. Some of these experiences draw on our sense of humor, and some are far more serious, but they are all written in a way that will bring joy and love into someone's life. This book is dedicated in memory of her daughter, Becky, who gave her much encouragement in the writing of this book. It is hoped that this book will connect people closer to God.
