Love it

I just received this book and I'm now reading it, very descriptive & informative. So far I love it.

Best Book I Ever Found On The Subject

The first Sunday School class I ever taught was on the parables. Being new to teaching adults and wanting to do the best job possible while keeping the class fun, I read every book I could find on the subject. I found no "reference" book better than this one. It's not only a "fun read" but filled with profound statements and material everyone can relate to. It's still, to my knowledge, the best book out there on the topic of Jesus's parables. There are so many gems in here that I often stop and just relfect and marvel at what I just read. I can't say that for most books: Christian or secular. Inrig is like a gifted preacher, making the Bible come alive and relating its messages to modern-day life in a practical-yet-interesting fashion. Reading this, I would often think, "Wow, am I lucky to have found this book; it is fantastic." I used a lot of material from a lot of books that "semester," but Inrig's book gave me the most material. My class didn't complain; they loved his stuff, too.
