Traditional Storytelling for all Ages
Sheldon draws on a treasury of tales: one group is called "A Little Bird Told Me; Flights of Wonder from King Solomon to  today" - tales of wondrous changes of heart and spirit;  Another group is called, "There is No Such Thing as a Small Miracle" - extraordinary tales of ordinary people.
