Discovering the Parables: An Inspirational Guide
Long before there were printing presses, copy machines, and email, societies used storytelling to convey beliefs, history, and traditions. This practice preceded the ministry of Jesus and continues today in many cultures. Jesus was a master storyteller. His words provide guidelines and a road map for living, as well as insights for spiritual understanding and personal development. Using familiar imagery found in nature and other recognizable sources, He engaged His listeners with lessons that confronted every aspect of their lives, providing the tools for self-examination and change. This book speaks to the heart! 144 pages; paperback.
