Pondering the Parables by Ray Sanders invites readers into forty days of thoughtful reflection on the timeless stories Jesus told. A powerful storyteller, Jesus often used simple yet profound parables to challenge His listeners and invite them into deeper truth. His teachings, filled with mystery, irony, and spiritual insight, were rooted in everyday experiences, yet carried eternal weight.
In this devotional journey, Ray Sanders walks alongside readers as a guide and fellow learner. Each day includes a selected parable, Ray's personal reflections and stories, thought-provoking questions, and space for journaling. Pondering the Parables encourages readers to slow down, engage the words of Jesus with intention, and discover how His teachings still speak into their lives today-with clarity, conviction, and grace.
