Pointed and Personal

A fresh and incisive examination of the cutting-edge teaching of Jesus in the parables.

Ray Markham provides the background to each of the parables and then explains how pointed and personal the messages of the parables were for the first-century listeners and are for the twenty-first-century readers of the gospels.

Each chapter concludes with a series of questions for group discussion and a series of points for personal prayer, reflection and practical application.

Ray Markham is the author of What Kind of Power Is This? (on the miracles of Jesus) and Greater Expectations (on the Sermon on the Mount).
