We can learn much, not only from what Jesus said, but from the way He said it. If we’re to be His ambassadors, then we need to learn how to communicate to different groups.

He told over 60 stories which make up one third of His recorded teaching in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Maybe you're wondering what relevance 2,000-year-old tales of vines and shepherds, of bygone meal etiquette and the power of petty Middle-Eastern overlords have to your life today. If so, this book could give you a new perspective.

In this study we consider what stories do. They can change our thinking, our ways of seeing, our behaviour, even our society, by provoking us to ask questions and to ‘think outside the box’. Jesus’s stories and pithy sayings do all these things and more.
