An edifying and inspirational short-story, The Procession of Cross-Bearers serves to motivate all people of faith when the burdens of life become too difficult to bear for even one more day, or one more step. This brief allegory is in the same vein as Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress or C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce, and is appropriate for both younger and more mature adults as they make their way through an often-treacherous world that tempts us to despair of hope.
