In this episode, we step into the very first Discworld adventure: The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett.

We meet A'tuin - the giant turtle who carries the disc on his back, along with the inept wizard Rincewind and the ever-optimistic tourist, Twoflower. Then there's the tourist's walking, many-legged piece of luggage that steals the show. Come explore the wild humor, wordplay, and fantastical beginnings of a world that went on to capture millions of readers’ imaginations.

A BIG thank you to Vanessa for sharing! Everyone has a story worth sharing!

In this episode, our guest shares a piece of her own story along with the unforgettable and true story of The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. It’s a testimony of faith, forgiveness, and light shining in the darkest of times.

Corrie reminds us: “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”

Through suffering and loss, she discovered that “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” Hers is a story of courage, hope, and the faithfulness of God.

Tolkien goes delightfully small-scale in Farmer Giles of Ham -- that tells the story of a steady farmer with a vocal dog, an old blunderbuss, and a dislike for trespassers. Names abound with clever meanings and a lot of history all tucked into a simple story.

And as Tolkien said, "give me a story with a dragon in it and I'm happy." This one ticks all the boxes!
