Barley Cakes:parables for the 21st century is a collection of 30 new parables, each drawn from one line of the Gospels. They all take place in The Village, a rural home to a group of wonderful people: the potter, the basket maker, the healer, the smallest child, the weaver, the prodigal parents, the flute maker and a cast of wonderful people seeking and sharing wisdom. This cast of characters is distinguished by having no gendered pronouns to define their gender, and thus,since they are identified neither as male or female we can all find ourselves in each of the people in these stories.

This review is from: Barley Cakes : Parables for the 21st Century (Paperback)
Take 1 part Asop fables1 part parables of Jesus mix in a cup of new age feel good pap and read for about an hour or until completly bored. the result is "Barley Cakes parables for the twenty first century". While the over all message of "Barley cakes" is not bad it lacks the insight and wisdom of the parables of Jesus nor does it have the simplicity of the asop fables. "Barley Cakes" is best served to those who are luke warm or in small portions to children as a bed time snack. Bottom line " barley cakes is a bland read that gets a "A" for effort and message but a "D" for content.
