A little, sweet fable on the power and struggle of humanity. The characters are two dimensional which takes a little from the book, but the story sticks which is the point of fables. Overall, this book is a nice, quick read. ( )

Audiobook..........This is a lovely story about the torment of having the gift of healing, yet struggling with people's seemingly never ending desire to take advantage of it. It also addresses the distinction and connection of mind and body healing. Jacob is a truly memorable character with very Christ-like attributes. Simple and profound.....great combination! ( )
