Why did Jesus use parables, and how do we unravel them to discover their timeless and powerful messages? Jesus' parables proclaim the good news, they show us the Kingdom of God, they show us God's unconditional love for us all, and they convey a central truth. Parables even surprise us! They slip up on us and flip our values. They turn our world upside down. And the great thing about the parables of Jesus is that they are always relevant and always personal; they speak eloquently to you and me, here and now.

In this book, we will examine six of Jesus' thought-provoking parables, parables of grace, to see if we can find yourself and God's truth for us in these magnificent "truth stories." They are, after all, truth-stories from the mind of Jesus that can change our lives as they proclaim Gods truth for you and me. (This description was adapted from the Introduction)

A study guide is included for each chapter to help make this experience beneficial for both you and a small group. Leader and participant suggestions are provided along with reflection/discussion questions, group activities, and prayer. There are six sessions.

Parables studied are:
The Sower, the Seeds, and the Soils
The Prodigal Son
The Elder Brother
The Unjust Judge
The Good Samaritan
The Least of These
