Book excerpt: You've probably heard of the Parable of the Good Samaritan, but have you heard of the parables of The Persistent Widow, The Ungrateful Slave, The Shrewd Manager or The Ten Virgins? This book examines every one of Jesus' parables from the greatest to the smallest and clearly explains the meaning of these wonderful stories Jesus told. Jesus's parables are about subjects as diverse as camels and coins, wineskins and weeds, and pearls and pig fodder. They tell of judges and widows, fathers and sons, and kings and slaves. They speak of wedding feasts and grand dinners. They explain truths about God's great love for mankind and how people should treat each other with love and compassion. The parables also explain why Jesus of Nazareth was crucified and how all of us can enjoy eternal life in the kingdom of heaven. They show us the path to experiencing lives that are full of joy, peace, hope, and love. Above all, the parables reveal to us the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven and provide the answer to the perplexity of our existence. Invite the Lord into the beautiful mess of your life and grow in your love for Him as you examine the Pearls and Pig Fodder .
