Synopsis

The Parable of the Talents revisits the ancient story of three men and the fateful gift that would shape their destinies. Compelled by their benefactor to engage in a game of chance, they are torn between two motives so old as to transcend culture, race, religion and time. Their choice and ours, when faced with the same struggle, is of such consequence as to make all other questions shrink in comparison. This book seeks to shed light on this common perplexity and to follow its ramifications to their ultimate end. While its message has sober implications, it is intended to give hope and encouragement toward a simple course which if pursued, will yield dividends of meaningfulness, significance and ultimately, joy.

À propos de l'auteur

My name is Jonathan McCormick and I am a writer. My gift in life is a simple and uncomplicated perspective. I notice small and seemingly insignificant things which others overlook but which nonetheless are fundamental to the paradigm we call life. I have spent the last decade or so asking questions about what I saw and in the last few years, the answers seem to be coming together. Why I write... Firstly, it is my primary means of contact with the divine. For whatever reason, I find it far easier to get answers with a pen in my hand than without one. Second, I write for the sake of those to whom my perspective may be of help. Lastly, I write because I am grateful for that light which has been imparted to me. I am keenly aware of a deep obligation to the Source of that light. If you find anything helpful in the works I produce, it is due to that Providence which has looked upon me in mercy and condescended to answer the deepest questions of my heart.
