Description
Timeless stories from the Christian faith and part of the world's heritage of wisdom. These stories - or parables - can be enjoyed as everyday tales of people and the things they do, both wise and foolish. Yet, for those to understand life's mystery, the parables provide a wealth of understanding. The world of Jesus' parables is God's world. By the choices people make, they can live as God's people and make their world part of God's heaven.
