Description

If your customers are looking for accessible Biblical study guides, either for personal or group use, then look no further. The "Conversations with Scripture" series either looks at individual Biblical books, or as in the case of this latest volume, Biblical topics. The series isn't so highbrow that only those versed in Greek can understand it, but equally doesn't talk down the way some commentaries can. The author is an expert in the field and knows how best to study the Parables, which are filled with ambiguity and much room for interpretation. He has organised each chapter by Parable type - such as seeking and growth and left room for activity ideas, such as role-playing, parable writing or music. This book gives the historical and cultural background and will help readers to explore the beauty, richness and joy that the Parables contain. Each book in the series has strong branding and is designed to stand out on the shelf.
