If what we offer to the world is a grumpy and constricted belief in God, then it is probably because we have a grumpy and constricted view of God. While food makes us live, stories are what make our lives worth living. Stories plunge the reader into a fictional world in such a way that when they return to reality, they perceive the world with more clarity and joy than before. They are one of the fastest and most effective ways to penetrate the human heart. Jesus told a better story. Idolatry is the worship of the parts instead of the whole. The feeling of wonderment is the source and inexhaustible fountainhead of [the child’s] desire for knowledge.
