The mustard seed. The wineskins. The sheep and the goats. These and dozens more parables enabled Jesus to help his followers--then and now--grasp spiritual truth. R. T. Kendall, who for years preached from Martyn Lloyd-Jones's pulpit at Westminster Chapel in London, unwraps Jesus's simple stories one by one, uncovering profound meaning.Readers will learn how parables safeguard the secrets of God, reveal his sovereignty, and actually survey salvation--from conversion, through the work of the Holy Spirit, to what happens to a believer at death. As readers begin to understand the purpose, promise, and paradox of the parables, they will get to know, in a new and fresh way, the One who told them. Two thousand years ago, as well as today, the parables enliven and enlighten the hearts of all with ears to hear.
Editorial : About the Author R. T. Kendall, a protégé of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, pastored the historic Westminster Chapel in London for 25 years.

His ministry was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit in the 1990s after his wife was miraculously healed from a serious illness. He and Louise now live in Key Largo, Florida.

Fully Engaged: Using the Practicing Mind in Everyday Life, by Thomas M. Not impossible, mind you, and I think all of them will still thoroughly enjoy these books. He also goes into some detail concerning his move to the ECM label and the effects that had ("among the best decisions I ever made.") on his playing. With the characters in this book, I was able to walk a mile in their shoes- wanting desperately to flee from the text, but unable to abandon the young protagonist when she was so desperately alone.
I am considering making this book required reading for a class that I teach at a local university. Rosentraub also explains the powerful, almost mythical interest of a
community in a professional sports franchise, that helps to better understand this sordid joining at the
hip of this business with a community. Thi
