Favorite Parables from Jesus of Nazareth

Overview

Jesus was master of the parable. His stories made people think for themselves. That is a hallmark of the parable: it is not so much for another to tell you what it means but for you to discover its meaning to you. A dozen of the most beloved parables from Jesus of Nazareth are presented for study and inspiration to help you apply the bible to your life today. "Favorite Parables from Jesus of Nazareth" also lends itself well to adult study groups.
