The parables of Jesus provide insight into deep spiritual truths the Lord taught His disciples while He was here on this earth. Dr. Sexton’s treatment of the greatest stories ever told is a simple yet profound explanation of Christ’s teaching. In each parable, the author emphasizes the central theme and applies God’s truth to the present-day reader. This two-volume set is a must for any Christian desiring to conform to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
A beautiful full-length Bible study book is published for each thirteen-week series. After reading and marking the Scripture passages which correspond to the lesson, the teacher will read the Bible lesson that corresponds with the lesson the Sunday School class is studying. As they read, students should mark key statements or paragraphs to review later. Class members may also desire to obtain this book for further reading.
