“Living the Parables: Applying Christ’s Teachings to Our Lives” by Hank Smith & Kathryn Jenkins

I have read other books by Hank Smith, so I was looking forward to reading this one. The author states in his introduction: “The parables of Jesus Christ will help you with your problems. They can bring the solutions and the peace you are seeking…The Savior never did anything on a whim of by accident.” The author wrote this book in hopes of giving readers insight into the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), why Jesus spoke in parables, and how they can help us today.

Chapters in this book include; What are Parables and why did Jesus use them?, Loss and Redemption: What was lost is found, Love Forgiveness and Repentance: Three things everyone needs… to name a few.

Very easy to read and very well written with lots of references from the scriptures and from our Apostles and Prophets teachings. This book is a WONDERFUL reference tool-I highly recommend getting it! I enjoyed the chapter about Love, forgiveness and repentance since I need to work on those qualities the most.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
