Publisher's summary

Pastor-teacher John MacArthur helps listeners understand Jesus' parables and how they relate to the whole of his message.

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he told were ingeniously simple word pictures with profound spiritual lessons. Understanding the parables is a crucial matter for followers of Jesus. Jesus told parables so his people might comprehend his message about the kingdom of God clearly.

Master expositor and Bible commentator John MacArthur has spent a lifetime explaining the word of God in clear and comprehensible terms. In Parables, he helps Christians understand the essential lessons contained in the most famous and influential short stories the world has ever known.

Each parable broken down.

I love how he broke down each parable and how they flowed together to ultimately tell the true story that heaven can only be gained through Christ.

Christian must read

This book changed the way I view the kingdom and Christianity, I learned alot. I will definitely be re reading, and studying more slowly a 2nd time. lots to learn here. John McArthur is a godly man who teaches so well, you know he reads the word and studied it carefully, wanting to glorify God in all he says and does.
