"Overcoming gravity [internal and external challenges] is where faith meets the physical...Acting in faith brings to pass things in the physical that you would not have been able to access otherwise." Asa's Allegories is a life manual for readers of any age. Brian Percy Anderson presents episodes of his life with his daughter Asa, an interpretation of each occurrence's significance as an allegory, and practical guidance for real-life application of the parallel spiritual, emotional, and psychological principles involved. The Bible is more than an historical anthology, and the parables of Jesus more than just stories. God is concerned with our spiritual health AND our physical well being. 3 John 1:2 (NKJV) states, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers." Christ Himself taught through parables, and Anderson utilizes this same teaching technique with the intention of reaching every believer.
