DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Using the best of current biblical scholarship, Dr. Robert Winterhalter invites his readers to reexamine the parables of Jesus in the light of our inner search and the many surprising insights found in the remarkable collection of early Christian Gnostic manuscripts discovered at Nag Hammadi. This important work brings refreshing insights of the early years of the Christian faith by taking into account their historical, literary, and symbolic dimensions. In 'Jesus' Parables: Finding Our God Within', the affirmations and inspirations in each parable add fresh insights because our understanding of God deepens as we move beyond old boundaries of thought. The parables become a window into the mind of Christ, and as we grow in open-mindedness we feel the warmth of a healthy-minded spirituality and the release of a greater harmony in our everyday life. Written with pastoral warmth and framed in solid scholarship, 'Jesus' Parables: Finding Our God Within' will provide a deep satisfaction for everyone who is searching for a new level of experience and living faith that will match our uncertain times.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Heritage Edition—Over 100 illustrations of a century ago. Unabridged, original text consisting of inspiring and profound lessons from the stories and parables which Jesus told. Christ the Great Teacher gave much of His instruction as He walked with His disciples through the hills and valleys of Palestine or rested by the lake or river. In His parable teaching He linked divine truth with common things and incidents, as may be found in the experiences of the shepherd, the builder, the tiller of the soil, the traveler, and the homemaker. Familiar objects were associated with thoughts true and beautiful—thoughts of God’s loving interest in us, of the grateful homage that is His due, and of the care we should have one for another. Thus lessons of divine wisdom and practical truth were made forcible and impressive. The Scripture says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; . . . that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matt. 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven. In this volume the parables are grouped according to their subjects, and their lessons are developed and illustrated. The book is full of gems of truth, and to many readers it will give a richer meaning to the common surroundings of everyday life.
