Jesus’ parables aren’t just stories—they are truth missiles, designed to challenge, confront, and transform lives. Many people heard the parables in Sunday school but never revisited them as adults. Yet these short, powerful stories were never Jesus’ youth ministry… they were his primary way of teaching, packed with profound biblical wisdom and deep spiritual truths.
With clear explanations, historical insights, and modern-day “Not-a-Parables”, the 33 punchy, bite-sized, chapters bring the parables powerfully to life. You’ll gain clarity on the challenge of Jesus’ teachings in a way that speaks directly to your everyday challenges.
This was a quick, insightful read that shows the author’s deep knowledge and research. What really stood out for me were the reflection questions and follow-up suggestions after each chapter, which added even more value to the already in-depth teaching it presented. Whenever I read books like this, I usually come up with my own reflection questions to help me better understand the material and dig a little deeper, so I found it especially pleasing that this was already built into the book. That set it apart from other books about Jesus' parables I’ve read and takes the explanations to a deeper level, which I appreciated. Some of Jesus’ parables can be difficult to understand, and at times we may let them pass over our heads without further thought. This book encourages you to slow down and think them through.
Truth Missiles is a great study companion for anyone desiring a better understanding and greater insight into Jesus' teachings across the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Highly recommended!
Sincere thanks to the author for the gifted copy!
