Preaching the Parables

People love to share good stories -- but above all, they remember them! Jesus knew this, so the master storyteller's most powerful sermons -- the parables -- were earthly stories that used everyday imagery to communicate heavenly meaning. In this volume, Sheffield helps you "tell the story" by expanding on 14 of Jesus' parables appearing in Cycle A and bringing them into a more modern setting. "The parables of Jesus as familiar, predictable Sunday school stories? Not when Richard Sheffield is doing the preaching and teaching!" -- Ginny Thornburgh (Board of Trustees, Princeton Theological Seminary)
