Subject: Good stories leave us saying "Hey! That's me!" The stories Jesus told have that same effect. To read them properly is to see ourselves in a new way. But the parables are more than mirrors. They are windows into the heart and mind of God Himself. Beyond revealing what we are, they help us know who God is. Because these stories are so familiar, we often do not really hear what Jesus is saying. Gary Inrig challenges us to sit at the feet of our Lord, to smell the aroma of Jewish villages, to feel the dust of Galilean roads, and to listen to these wonderful stories as though we were hearing them for the first time. Writing with freshness and vitality, the author opens the parables to reveal spiritual truth that touches our lives in practical and compelling ways.
