Overview

This book addresses thirty-four of the Parables Jesus taught. The Parables are showcased within the context and culture of the diverse peoples of Jesus' time. The lessons taught are timeless, appropriate for all people groups and cultures of every century because they address common attributes of all mankind and the eternal attributes of the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Delving into the teachings of Jesus allows the reader insight into the wisdom he displayed, his understanding of human nature, his love for humanity, and his omniscient grasp of the workings of the enemy of our soul. The Parables demand critical thinking on the part of the readers as they assess their own lives and motivations in the light of Jesus' expectations. Carol P.
