PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In this thirteen-week workbook-style Bible study on the New Testament
parables, readers will develop an ear for the message these stories
convey--that the Kingdom of God is at hand and is in you and me. And one
glorious day the Kingdom will come to completion when the Ultimate
Parable, Jesus the Christ, returns and takes His throne. Until that
time, we are the keepers of the Kingdom, and as subjects of this nation
we must live in such a way as to please the King. The parables tell us
how to live as Kingdom people.Of the thriteen weeks, the first nine
explore the parables of Jesus in the four gospels; the next three look
at the parables in Acts and those from Paul and the apostles. The study
culminates in a look at what the author calls living parables, with
Jesus as the Parable of all parables.Through Him we come to know God the
Father, and through Jesus we come to live as living parables in a world
begging to "see God." Living story-shaped lives allows others to see
God in us--this is Kingdom living.The workbook includes a chart of
parables in chronological order, a chart of parables alphabetically
arranged in the four gospels, a chart showing the locations in Israel
where the parables were taught, and an index of scriptures to make
finding parables quick and easy. A downloadable Group Study Guide is
available through the author's website as well as a photo gallery of
pictures from the author's trip to the Holy Land where these parables
were first shared.
