Story Enough

In Yann Martel's bestseller The Life of Pi, a Hindu boy named Pi meets a Catholic priest, Father Martin, who tells Pi the story of the of gospel. Pi asks for more:

I asked for another story, one that I might find more satisfying. Surely this religion had more than one story in its bag--religions abound with stories. But Father Martin made me understand that...their religion had one Story, and to it they came back again and again, over and over. It was story enough for them.

From Paul Miller, A Praying Life
