5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful and thoughtful collection of short stories, January 19, 2001

This review is from: I Feel Better All over Than I Do Anywhere Else ... and Other Stories to Tickle Your Soul (Paperback)

Randall O'Brien is a pastor, a college professor, and an exceptionally gifted communicator. In this book he displays a remarkable ability to find the teaching moment in the events of everyday life. The book is collection of stories in which O'Brien calls upon events in his own pilgrimage to become storytellers for the Gospel. The book is full of richness and warmth, southern grace and uncommon insight. The short story nature of the book makes it ideal for occasional reading (i.e. a chapter before bedtime), since there are no plot elements which must be maintained from chapter to chapter. It is a fun book, and I'll bet you won't be able to read it without at least one giggle, one tear, and one moment of, "I have to tell so-and-so about this."

This review is from: I Feel Better All over Than I Do Anywhere Else ... and Other Stories to Tickle Your Soul (Paperback)

I picked up this book to take on a trip. The stories are great and perfect to read when your attention span for reading is very short. It's a fun read but really makes you think too. It is spiritually insightful, not fluff. I am currently attending a church where Dr. O'Brien is Interim Pastor and these stories often make it into his sermons. They are great.

I had the pleasure to be a student in one of Dr. O'Brien's classes. This book is testimony to his amazing lectures and wonderful character. What a fantastic and funny read; if you like this one, I recommend his other titles.
