Best-Loved Parables Stories Jesus Told (Children 226.809)

Personal

Notes

This is a beautifully bound collection of classic biblical stories that parents of all backgrounds will want their children to read and know by heart. Here, in language that is both appealing and understandable to children, are seventeen parables Jesus told---each richly illustrated, each with a timeless message. Jesus always drew a crowd when he told his stories: down-to-earth stories rich in humor, compassion, and with an understanding of human nature; thought-provoking stories that offer glimpses of the character of God and heaven itself. In this book they are retold for children in a lively and engaging style while retaining the resonances of the Gospel accounts in the Bible that have preserved them as part of the world's heritage for nearly two thousand years.
