The first thing I want y'all to know is that each of these Apple John stories is absolutely true! Well...maybe some facts have been fudged a bit and names changed to protect the guilty. A few facts have been slightly modified, left out, or added for clarity. Other than that, it's ALL TRUE! Apple John is a real person; he lives in the Big Hungry area near Hendersonville, North Carolina. No one knows for sure why he is called Apple John, but I suspect it's because he's usually seen munching on an apple (with another handy in his back pocket). This book contains 17 short stories about the mythical Apple John. This debut collection of short stories is from author Chick Ludwig.
Dr. Philip Lehman has no theological training so Philables are 'Layman stories' (pun intended) not sermons. Philables are intended to help believers see 'every act is an act of worship'. To see everyday events as teachable moments...little vignettes that can lead to moments of praise, reflection and encouragement.
For several years Phil's morning devotions have frequently included writing short stories. Stories that are based on the day's scripture passage or some recent event. This allows him to bring Biblical values and lessons into his daily life in short, relatable stories. Several friends asked him to share these daily stories with them and have since encouraged him to have them published as they have shared them with their family and friends. Each weekday he also emails the new Philable to his niece, a missionary in Thailand and translates them into Spanish and emails them to a pastor in Peru.
Other than scripture, ideas for these stories come to Phil in sermons, daily interactions with others, and comments and current events. Philables avoid politics and cultural concerns and conclude with a brief synopsis of a lesson to contemplate or scripture to bring the story into daily life. For example the first Philable ends:
Moriah returned from her mission trip in Australia with a serious fungal foot infection. Her friends and family saw dirty, smelly feet, her doctor saw infected feet, God saw beautiful feet. 'As it is written 'How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things' (Romans 10:15). Go get your feet dirty...get off the sidewalk. Be in the world but apart from the world. Don't worry about what man sees. Follow Jesus' example.
This collection of fictional short stories is a look into the musings of the author. It pulls the curtain back to see past human existence into the spiritual realm of where we reside as tripart beings. We are reminded through these stories that circumstances aren't just what we see and experience through our physical senses, but what we sometimes easily ignore from our spiritual senses that are important. The perspectives shared by the author help to see events differently and provide light to shadows, reintroducing us to the agenda of spirits to derail man's relationship with God. Her stories also illustrate the outcome of those attempts, both successful and failed. The author weaves the reader into simple everyday events to embark on journey after journey of decisions that must be made by the characters, walking us through each occasion with often surprising outcomes. The reader is able to connect with these stories because each one is relatable and touches on some part of their life, whether through personal experience or observation. Each story is an illustration of 2 Corinthians 4:18: While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

A blimp that saves souls. A college student who flies. A conflicted southern preacher in the wake of a local lynching. A mysterious stranger at a corporate Christmas party who turns water into wine.
Beginning in the late 1950s, Joe Bayly made it his business to expose the blind spots of American Christianity. How did he do it? He wrote parables--or, as Joe put it, stories on target. And, as it turns out, he did a pretty good job at it.
Here in one collection are Joe's wisest and funniest stories. These are stories about sinners, bumblers, fools, and hypocrites. In other words, they are stories about normal, everyday people. The kind you might find on the other side of a mirror.
And, really, if you're not looking in the mirror you're missing the point. Not that Joe was mean. Satirists needn't always be scoffers or cynics. Joe just saw people the way they were and loved them enough to say so. And he had a knack for saying so with wit, charm, and a healthy dose of good humor.

This book is unlike most books you may have read. It is not a single story with a single theme. It is a plethora of many short stories with several, diverse themes.
The author began writing these stories later in his lifetime. He has no formal training in this area of writing, and he sometimes feels he is trespassing into unknown territory. His first story was written to play a joke on a friend. He discovered that he enjoyed writing that story so much he continued writing these flash fiction stories to this day. He also realized he could use this avenue of communication to share his Christian faith on an international level.
During this time period, the author collected these stories in a treasure chest. He has decided at this time he would pull some of those stories out of the treasure chest and share them with you.

Stories about forgiveness, love, and many other things I experienced in prison. How God's Word helped me through it. I won my first award and $5,000 for my story Love Your Enemies, a story about how God taught me to forgive the guy who stole my radio. All these stories have taught me how to trust God in times of trouble. When I wasn't sure about how to respond, God's Word was there to help me. I pray these stories will help others to see that God is good, and He can help in times of need.
