1. If a story seems to have a correlation to something deeper than the plot itself, it most likely has something to do with the Bible.

2. Whether it be through the title, character names, or plot development, interaction with the Bible enhances the meaning of any story.

3. Religious references add depth to a story.

4. Understanding these references is not the difference between understanding and not understanding a story. Since many are not able to point out a biblical reference whenever they see it, the Bible plays the role of the enhancer rather than a vital piece of a story.

Seasons set the mood of the story
