The Pocket Messiah Frances Steinberg
Would you live differently if you knew that
after you died, you would be judged by the person you had spent your whole life despising
or oppressing?
The Pocket Messiah tells the story of a gifted Brazilian/American woman
named Laurel who heals by telling stories. Josh, a young New Zealand painter travelling
on his OE, answers an ad Laurel has placed for someone to paint one of her stories. Laurel
tells the tale of the painting, Judgment Day, in such a way that Josh is able to
transfer her meaning onto canvas. Their collaboration is complicated, however, with
the arrival of Laurel's entrepreneurial twin brother Oliver, who is determined to
make his fortune marketing her as the next messiah. phac publications. Soft

Tales from The Pocket Messiah Frances Steinberg
After the publication of the novel,
The Pocket Messiah, Frances would frequently read a bit of it during her professional
presentations. Participants would often come up to her afterwards, wanting a copy
of a particular story so they could share it with a friend. She soon realized that
several of the stories would have appeal to children as well as adults, and so the
idea for Tales from the Pocket Messiah was germinated. The stories have been re-written
from their original form, in part so they could stand alone, but also so they would
be more accessible to children. A note about the stories precedes each of the three
tales. The material is suitable for children of every age, even the ones who go
to work or are otherwise very busy. phac publications. Soft cover. 32 pages ISBN
