Mike Mulhern reimagines how Jesus might convey his teachings in today’s world through a collection of 11 modern parables exploring themes of fame, forgiveness, addiction and life’s ultimate purpose
PONTE VEDRA, Fla., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “Do you have aspirations for fame and want to know how some of those who attained it succeeded? Is there a secret formula or road to get there?” The answer may be found in Ponte Vedra author Mike Mulhern’s latest literary effort, “Parables for Today” (published by Balboa Press). The collection of stories presents valuable lessons for readers, offering insights into how some individuals have succeeded in achieving fame and the challenges they encountered along the way.
“The Fame Game” is just one story in a collection of tales the longtime journalist presents to educate, enlighten and entertain his readers and open their minds up to a broader reality that exceeds what they may be encountering in their humdrum, unexciting lives.
“I’ve had lots of experiences I feel others can profit and grow from,” says Mulhern, “I’ve gathered a bunch of them together to share. Some are reminiscences; others contain elements of truth I feel the reader can relate to because of similar experiences in his or her own life. There’s nothing in the book that’s offensive and something there everyone should be able to profit from.”
Mulhern, incidentally, is a former Ponte Vedra Recorder employee who is still an occasional contributing writer. “This community is fortunate to have such an outstanding newspaper that’s so responsive to its readership,” he comments.
Some of the topics covered in the book are death and dying, dealing with adversity, coping with physical and psychological challenges and tips on living a profitable life. “Life is an adventure, and it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for some of the bumps we encounter in the road along the way,” he points out. “The information in this book should prove helpful in some way for everybody.”
“Parables for Today” is currently available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and may be purchased directly through Balboa Press at https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/803772-parables-for-today.
