Even the youngest child learns about a wise man building his house upon a rock, and the foolish man building his house on sand.
And somehow we think because the parables are stories, they are not as "solid" as Jesus's other teachings. they're too simple, we think.
Yet Jesus said He told them to hide meaning, not to reveal it. So---maybe if you're thinking parables are child's play, you may not even be in His game.
This challenging and insightful book by award-winning writer Dr. Latayne C. Scott invites you to dig deep into the parables' meanings for the twenty-first century believer.
