The Timeless Storyteller (Used)

Throughout human history, people have told stories to convey wisdom and truth. The parables of Jesus Christ are among the most well known of these. Originally told to different groups of people—crowds by the lakeside in Gallilee, the disciples, the Pharisees—these stories contain depths of meaning and insight which remain true for us today.

Evelyn Capel studies twelve parables and draws out their relevance today, showing how they have revealed different truths as human consciousness has developed.
