Publisher's Synopsis
Are there "Samaritan" conflicts in the world today? Are there times when we need to forgive a "Prodigal Son"? How can we sow the seed of the Kingdom of God? What do ancient parables have to do with modern living? "The Parables of Jesus - A New Perspective" approaches these timeless stories from three different perspectives. First, in the Known Truth section, each parable is considered from the viewpoint of the original audience. Second, the Spiritual Instruction section shows how the parable related to the growing faith of the disciples. The third section, Kingdom Action, shows how the parables taught leadership principles to the disciples who would soon be earthy ministers for the Kingdom of God. The 14 studies in this guide will challenge and encourage you to align your daily life with the teachings of Jesus to His disciples. You will gain new insight into your life today, and your life in eternity.Second Edition.
