Jesus knew the power of stories to touch people’s hearts, so he
used parables to teach his followers about the kingdom of God. If
you want to know God better, the keys are in the parables.
This book provides short studies on every parable in the Bible.
You’ll learn what God wants us to know from the prodigal son, the
good Samaritan, the lost sheep, the talents, the sower, and many
more.
Each study includes a summary of the parable, the Scripture
reference where it can be found, information on the historical and
cultural setting, and key points. At the end of each study are
questions that open the door to discussion, reflection, or further
investigation and help you get to the heart of the parable.
A wonderful tool for small groups or to add variety to your
personal devotions. Let these studies draw you nearer to God as
they enhance your understanding of his Word.
