Praying the Parables of Jesus: A 40-Day Devotional Journey in Word and Image - Stephen A. Macchia

Descriere Praying the Parables of Jesus: A 40-Day Devotional Journey in Word and Image - Stephen A. Macchia

\nPraying the Parables of Jesus offers an immersive encounter with Scripture, guiding readers to connect more deeply with the teachings of Jesus through prayerful reflection on His parables. In a world that constantly pulls our attention in countless directions, these 40 devotions invite us to pause, focus, and rediscover the quiet assurance of living out our faith with conviction.\n \nDrawing inspiration from Eugene Peterson's perspective on parables as tools that force attention, participation, and involvement, authors Macchia and Skinner guide us into each parable, training our eyes to see, our ears to hear, and our feet to follow Jesus' path. This book helps us recalibrate our spirits toward faithfulness and fruitfulness, aligning our lives with the Kingdom of God in the here and now of our daily lives.\n \nUsing the text of The Message Bible, Praying the Parables of Jesus provides holistic, multisensory prompts that encourage readers to not only hear and respond to the Word but also to live into it. Features included: \n \n- Key contextual insights into 40 of Jesus' parables, \n- A guided prayerful reading of each parable, using the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, \n- A companion reflection on original art inspired by the parable, based on the ancient practice of Visio Divina. \nThis transformative experience helps turn the prism of daily life in a redemptive direction, offering gentle guidance from Jesus the storyteller to cultivate a life rooted in truth, prayer, and grace.\n
