From the author and illustrator of The Kingdom of God Bible Storybook comes a fully illustrated and faithful retelling of 26 parables of Jesus in a beautiful cloth-bound hardcover book.

Written with ages 4 to 12 in mind, The Parables of Jesus aims to lead families deeper into the heart of Jesus’ teaching. Covering well-known parables like The Good Samaritan and lesser-known tales like The Dishonest Manager, these short stories provide an engaging way for children to learn surprising truths about Jesus and his coming kingdom.

Each of the ten chapters contains a summary page with questions to explain the message of the parable and guide conversations.

Publisher’s Description

“Some sections of the Bible give us grand theology. Some move us to grateful responses to God. But the parables break through mere words and make us ask whether there has indeed been any real difference in our lives.”

In this beloved classic, James Boice takes us systematically through the parables of Jesus, grouping them into five categories: parables of the kingdom, salvation, wisdom and folly, the Christian life, and judgment.

In each section Boice brings Jesus’ words to bear on life today. Through his careful study and clear explanation of each parable born from a sermon series he preached at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, where he pastored for 32 years he helps us understand just what Jesus meant, and how our hearts and lives ought to respond.

Jesus’ parables are memorable for a reason. Discover their power for yourself.”
