This inspiring and challenging book presents a selection of 30 new and original parables, that are relevant to modern day living. Each parable tells an engaging story which is then interpreted from a Christian and biblical point of view.
There are four main sections:
• The cosmic landscape – eternity and the sovereignty of God
• Fantastic failures – identity and destiny; sin and salvation
• Inside the engine room – basics of Christian belief, e.g. faith and prayer
• Working it out, walking it out – living out the Christian faith and gospel
Within each section there is a general progression of thought but all the parables are independent and self-contained. The questions presented at the end of each parable will stimulate further reading, reflection, study and discussion. An extensive Scripture Index provides invaluable reference material.
Ideal for discussion groups, individuals and ministers preparing sermons
