Foreword

Aaron has told us that at the time of Jesus' birth he was a very young child living in the hills in that country with his father who was a shepherd.

As an adult he came to know this master and became a follower. Aaron emphasizes that in that lifetime, even as an adult, he was "just a simple shepherd, unlearned …" and not one of a core group who were the great disciples of Jesus. Nevertheless, he had great love for his teacher and gratitude for his teaching.

Each year Aaron has shared stories with us about what he learned from this beloved teacher. In this book are the collected stories from the six years from 1989 to 1994. He offers them as "teaching stories."

We hope they will give you much inspiration and joy.
