Using the concept of the kingdom of God as a touchstone, this study analyzes the parables and emphasizes how we can apply their lessons to our modern lives. Like Jesus, Lavin cuts through theological code words to get to the heart of their message in easy-to-understand ways. The study is structured in two eight-session groupings, with each chapter including points to ponder and questions for stimulating discussion. A study guide for digging deeper into the biblical and historical background and tips is included to assist small group leaders. This is the second book in the series.
