Jesus is widely acknowledged, even by those who do not believe He is God, to have been a brilliant teacher - his parables (sometimes called earthly stories with a heavenly meaning) are one of the reasons for this. This concise book reviews the purpose of the parables, the key imagery that is used and the main lessons for us today in exploring the parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep, the prodigal son, the sower, the Good Samaritan and many more.
