by Samuel C. Hughes (Author)
We all love a good story!
A good story grabs our attention and stirs our emotions. And Jesus was a great storyteller-using stories to challenge our thinking and to awaken us into love. Yet, many of us ignore His curious, head-scratching stories called parables.
Jesus Stories uncovers their timeless messages by taking us on a heartwarming journey of listening. The parables are often overflowing with humor and cunning wit. You may find yourself laughing along or squirming a little, as you realize you just might be the intended punch line! Without a doubt, you will feel yourself in God's tender embrace.
"Samuel wonderfully personalizes the parables, helping us apply their timeless truths in the here and now." --Trent Sheppard, author of Jesus Journey
"Here is an adventure through imaginative prayer into right living. This book serves as a doorway into the house where Jesus is the host; you would do well to spend the night." --Daniel T. Haase, Associate Lecturer, Wheaton College
"What an amazingly fresh look at the parables! I commend Jesus Stories to you. I promise you will see the parables with new eyes." --Dr. Larry Lindquist, Senior Professor, Denver Seminary
