As Christians many of us born into the church, we have our own
vocabulary. Metaphors make abstract concepts easier to understand. This pamphlet takes words like life and death and uses common experiences in our life
to help people to connect to concepts of religion. As a voice for foster children one metaphor important
to me at this time is “family.” Through Jesus, believers become part of the
family of God. We are adopted and have the full rights of a son. Orphans
represent life apart from God without His love. Now anyone who in
Christ can call upon God and He is their Abba, "Daddy." Other pairings of the
metaphor uses Relationships of friend and enemy. Charts are colorful and
clearly define the elements of the metaphors: positive and negative followed by
several Biblical illustrations. The writer’s approach was fresh and new to me and gave me much
information to process. I received this PDF from Rose Publishing for honest opinion. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions 16 CFR, Part 255
