Inhaltsangabe

The Gospels are filled with parables--the analogy-centered stories Jesus used to teach his followers about his coming kingdom. Why did Jesus tell so many of these stories? And what do they have to say to us today? Windows and Mirrors dives into some of Jesus's best-loved parables (along with some less familiar ones) in order to explore the rich symbolism, deep emotion, and eternal perspective these stories have to offer. Along the way, John Bowling demonstrates how these timeless tales are both mirrors in which we see ourselves reflected, and windows through which we can see into the very heart of God.
