About this audiobook
Jesus was known for presenting many of His teachings in parables, short stories that illustrate a point. In His own day and in ours, Jesus' stories have often been misunderstood, and their riches have been overlooked. In What Do Jesus' Parables Mean?, Dr. R.C. Sproul explores the parables of Jesus, laying out their meaning and the rich blessings that they promise to believers.
