Sacred Ground Thomas Helaman Wicke

We are social creatures -spiritually, psychologically, emotionally and physically. The oldest and most powerful manifestation is by the telling of stories. Entire genealogies have been commended to story. The most significant events in the history of mankind (the birth, life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ; the creation of the world; the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt; the independence of the United States; and each family has their own lore and legacy) have been transmitted across generations via storytelling. This is a book of stories. The qualities and virtues expressed in the stories contained in this book are the heritage given to us. Stories shape children and remind adults of purpose. They exemplify and illustrate virtues. A good story, either fictional or actual, teaches and inspires.
