stories Jesus Still Tells: The Parables
John R. Claypool
synopsis:
Jesus often made his salient points through short stories called Parables.
The book presents many of his best known parables and directly relates
them to our everyday lives.
longer synopsi:
Aesop told fables, Solomon told proverbs, and when Jesus needed to communicate
difficult ideas in a calm, persuasive way, He told parables. These were simple
stories, whose endings listeners could sometimes anticipate, but whose point
they could always grasp.
And there was always a surprise in the parables Jesus told. As the parable
began, the listeners thought that the story was about someone else, but by the
parable's end they knew it was pointed at them.
Among the stories Jesus told were the ones about the talents; the treasure, the
pearl, and the dragnet; the vineyard owner and his workers; the petulant
children; the rich fool; and the great banquet.
In this book, John Claypool retells in his own style the familiar stories Jesus
once told, and in the retelling Jesus's sweet, clear voice can still be heard.
John Claypool invites the reader to open up the deep places in his or her being
so that "the Light that enlightens up every person" can illuminate him or her
as well.
