Book Description
"Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful responses to God. But the parables break through mere words and make us ask whether there has indeed been any real difference in our lives." In this beloved classic, James Boice takes us systematically through the parables of Jesus, grouping them into five categories: parables of the kingdom, salvation, wisdom and folly, the Christian life, and judgment. In each section Boice brings Jesus' words to bear on life today. Through his careful study and clear explanation of each parable—born from a sermon series he preached at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he pastored for 32 years—he helps us understand just what Jesus meant, and how our hearts and lives ought to respond. Jesus' parables are memorable for a reason. Discover their power for yourself.

Book Description
2022 Catholic Media Association first place award in scripture: academic studies In this book, which covers all of Jesus’ parables, award-winning author Gerhard Lohfink takes a closer look at the origins of each one—its shape, its realistic details, but most of all its original message and the situation into which it was once spoken. Jesus’ parables speak in bold images of the kingdom of God, making it present to us as they reveal something of the mystery of his own person. Lohfink also offers a review of some of the scholarship in this area—as this topic has sustained research on Jesus since the first telling of these stories—but not for the purposes of debate. His reflections interpret the forty parables and show how they speak of the coming of the reign of God, lead us to Jesus, and reveal the mystery of Jesus himself.

By recognizing the mystical understanding of each parable, you can find the insights that bring the experience of your immortality into a direct conscious experience. This experience of being consciously immortal can then be experienced anywhere, anytime and under any circumstance! This immortality experience is for you, since the parables are about you! Jesus taught the mystical parables to anyone that would listen to them, evaluate them, then make decisions about them, and then experience the mystical secret, and then enter into daily actions based upon the living experience from them! The 86 parables of Jesus Christ have been hidden in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as part of the story of Jesus Christ. The discovery of the collection of the parables brings into focus the profound mystical teachings about our immortality in a discovery process that can be followed, as long as a soul can read them from a mystical viewpoint, as well as from a mortal point of view. The book, AMAZING PARABLE COLLECTION DISCOVERY, OF JESUS CHRIST without commentary, is written in two parts. The first part of the book is just the 86 treasure parables in a collection form and in sequence, as found in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. The second part of the book is called The Freedom Road where I explain the differences between mortally understanding the parables and mystically understanding the meaning of each parable. The parables are like personal treasures about you! However, the parables are wrapped in a mysticalsecret language. The Freedom Road shows a way to transcend ordinary thinking about you. It produces a self-discovery process for your Christian Identity that is fresh and self-evident. We have now started the third Millennium of Christianity and the true Identity, self-discovery process as taught to us by Jesus Christ. The discovery of the parables in a collection form can show to you, your mystical side of yourself! The fruit of your faith can be the direct, self-evident experience of being immortal! This conscious experience of being immortal can open up a wonderful realm of personal treasures, about your mortal and immortal life. If you would like to evolve as a faith soul, then studying the mystical side of the parables is just right for you. If you would like to change some of your personality attitudes, then you have a fresh new map or blueprint to aid your desires. If you would like to understand other souls better, then the deciphering of the parables mystically will answer your prayers. When you read the parable collection from beginning to end, Jesus is talking to you, about you, for about three hours! These three hours of listening to Jesus' secret teachings about you and your immortality and your life in heaven forever, will open your heart, mind, and soul! The discovery of the direct experience, of you, being immortal is certainly worth the effort. You will then want to make some decisions about you, and in doing so, you will also make new decisions about God and the Family of God! These decisions about God and the Family of God may be subtle or the decisions may be drastic! Everything depends upon your current state of Christian evolution. In the first part of the book, the parables stand alone, without any commentary from myself about what the mortal or mystical insights are to any of the parables. In the second part of the book called The Freedom Road, I offer some thought provoking insights about you, but I do not offer any mystical explanations about the meaning of any of the parables. I have left that up to you to have the pure fun and enjoyment of mystically deciphering the parable treasures for yourself, about you! In closing, I would like to encourage you to invest some time with Jesus and listen to

Book Description
Revising much of the content originally published in The Kingdom of God Is Like, and adding selected material from Awakenings and Reawakenings, Thomas Keating continues to stir the Christian imagination with insightful commentary on the parables of the Bible. Including the Mustard Seed, the Narrow Door, the Penitent Woman, the Sower, the Prodigal Son, and others, this collection of corresponding meditations renews the voice and vigor of each parable's deeper meaning--so often overlooked through familiarity and fame. Originally told to seekers in an ancient land, each parable--packed with clues about the meaning of life, the nature of God, and the purpose of creation--has as much relevance and resonance as ever for both teaching the lessons of God and his mercy and for understanding the daily struggles of today's fast-paced world.

Book Description
Have you ever wondered why Jesus often spoke in parables? Are you curious about what lessons we can learn from these parables today? Pastor and bestselling author John MacArthur breaks down the parables and teaches us how we can apply these deceptively simple stories to modern Christianity. Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he often told were no exception. Beneath these unassuming stories were deeply profound spiritual lessons that were designed to reach all who heard them--from the faithful to the faithless--and they're still relevant today. In Parables, MacArthur argues that these short, memorable stories represented more than just symbolism or a clever teaching style--they were carefully crafted tales that made the mysteries of the Gospel more accessible to everyday believers. Parables will help you see Jesus' teachings in a brand new light, addressing some of the most common questions on the topic, including: When did Jesus start teaching in parables? What makes parables so accessible? How can we interpret these stories? What common threads link each of the parables together? What do parables teach us about the kingdom of God? MacArthur has spent a lifetime sharing the Word of God in clear and comprehensible terms with believers of all walks of life. Let him be your guide as he sheds light on the essential lessons contained in the most infamous and influential short stories the world has ever known.
