"Spellbinding. Penetrating. Heart-touching. These are fitting adjectives for the stories Jesus told. No less than 35 percent of Jesus's recorded teaching were parables - stories designed to reveal truth - and no one knew how topspin a story better. More than ordinary "once upon a time" tales, Jesus tells earthly stories imbued with both eternal and practical meanings. The stories Jesus told were not for entertainment but for edification; not for information but for transformation. If you want to know who Jesus was and what He valued, take a plunge into the parables He told."
- Pastor Merritt
