Many people think of God as being a Law-giver proclaiming “Thou shalt not” and “Thou shalt”.

Others think of God as handing down propositions about himself in big words.

But, as Jared Wilson points out, God is a story-telling God.

In this book Wilson looks at the parables of Jesus showing how these often simple stories show us God’s ways in surprising revelations. It is as if the stories allow reality to break into our consciousness.

This is an excellent  book about the parables. It is easy to read, inspiring and encourages us to look carefully at the stories with a new attitude.
