a standout guide for teachers or personal Bible study November 16, 2008
At the risk of starting this review sounding like an incorrigible elitist, I must confess that I prepare myself for disappointment when I open a popular Bible study guide like this one. I anticipate that it will be poorly written or captive to a provincial North American point of view or hopelessly naive regarding the biblical text.
Gary Ihrig's 188 pages on select parables of Jesus pleasant surprises on the first and third counts and does well on the second. His fresh, biblically aware presentation of twelve parables is just what the doctor ordered for the reader who wants to understand what Jesus' parables meant in their moment and what they mean for today. His style is a model of clarity.
I am team-teaching a Sunday school class and had nothing to do with the selection of this text. A popular but motivated audience finds Ingrid's work accessible and illuminating.
I heartily recommend THE PARABLES. UNDERSTANDING WHAT JESUS MEANT as a doorway into the fascinating world of Jesus' stories.

I thank God for the writer of this book. This book explains new insight on Jesus' parables, taking in consideration of the Lord's geographical location and culture.
It took me a while to read this book. Why? Because this is the type of book that you may want to meditate after reading it. Its not something that you read and let bygones be bygons.
This book particularly focuses on what our actions should be as Jesus' followers. It addresses issues like greed or Me-society that we often ignore. I'd like to stress out that Jesus pointed everything plainly for us. This book only reminds us to go back and look deeper within ourselves and question if God is really what motivates us in everything we do.
I love this book and will give it to friends I know. Please pray for me so I can share it to others as well, and also put the Jesus' words into action.
Thank God.
