What if the stories Jesus told were far more disruptive—and far more hopeful—than you’ve ever realized?
In The Stories Jesus Told, Shawna Carpenter takes readers beyond familiar Sunday school interpretations into the rich historical and spiritual world of Jesus’ parables. With theological insight and pastoral warmth, this book helps you hear these stories as Jesus’ original audience would have heard them—stories that challenged assumptions, confronted spiritual complacency, and revealed the surprising nature of God’s Kingdom. If you long to engage Scripture more deeply and encounter Jesus in fresh ways, this book is for you.
