<strong>Do we follow what the Bible says or what it doesn't?</strong>

A Tale of two Ships
A short story based on a dream I had. I wrote it out as an exercise in writing, and published it myself as a small zine in 2005. Yes, the title does bare a resemblance to Augustine's classic work "A Tale of two Cities" for a reason. The allegory of the gospel isn't perfect, but it's worth thinking over.
