    The Scope Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003
    based on 226 ratings
     | 32,682 views

    Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

When I was in elementary school and the classroom got boring, like most kids, I would doodle. But while some kids ...read more
