Publisher's Description
Everybody loves a good story. A great storyteller can captivate children, enchant adults, and change the minds and hearts of those who listen. Jesus was a master storyteller. His parables continue to intrigue, inspire, puzzle, challenge, and amuse all who encounter them. In Tell Me Your Story: The Parables of Jesus, Arthur Zannoni offers insight into the stories that Jesus told, using the latest Scripture scholarship. Then he invites us to understand the stories as challenges for today's disciples and as a key to helping us unfold the mysteries of our own stories. Preachers, catechists, Bible study groups, continuing education classes, and individuals who wish to grow in their appreciation of the word of God will all appreciate and enjoy this book.

“Tell Me Your Story: The Parables of Jesus provides hope, inspriration, and a whole new appreciation for the parables. Arthur Zannoni invites us to cast our own story alongside the story of God. As we ponder the 'stories behind the stories,' we are drawn into the powerful love of God exploding in our hearts and minds. This unique pastoral and educational resource will inspire, challenge, and enrich all who hear in Jesus' words the voice of God.”
“For all who follow him, Jesus is the Teacher. Christians have always sought to know better what's in the heart of his teaching--and to follow it in their lives. Many people seeking that deeper understanding of Jesus will find this work to be a tremendous resource. Not only does Art Zannoni provide the facts about what's in the Gospels, but, with scholarly depth, he brings it to life by story and example. I found myself flipping to my favorite parables, eager to see what the author had to say.”
“Tell Me Your Story is the book you have been seeking: to probe in-depth the parables whether alone or sharing with a group, to understand your own story or Jesus' story, to put together a homily or to understand one, to pray more deeply or to live better, and to experience healing where challenged by the most difficult parables or the one that seems easy because you are missing what it really says.”
