Open your heart to God’s lessons and take your family deeper into Christ’s teaching.\n\nTeach Your Children As Jesus Taught\nJesus used the parables to teach 2,000 years ago. Since that time, the Church has consistently used the parables to teach, and we should do the same in our homes!\n\nStories are powerful--and as parents we should use the parables as we endeavor to teach our children to live moral lives as faithful followers of Christ.\n\nThe parables reveal the Kingdom of God, call us to conversion, reveal God’s mercy, form our conscience, and teach us humility. \n\nThe Parables of Jesus unpacks the parables and sheds new light on them, so you can bring these lessons to your children.\n\nThe Parables of Jesus explores the following 12 parables:\nHouse Built On Rock\nThe Sower and the Seeds\nPearl of Great Price\nUnforgiving Servant\nThe Good Samaritan\nThe Prodigal Son\nThe Rich Man and Lazarus\nLaborers in the Vineyard\nThe Pharisee and the Tax Collector\nThe 10 Virgins\nThe Parable of the Talents\nThe Sheep and the Goats \n\nFind Jesus in the Parable\nJesus is in each parable.\n\nHe is the Good Shepherd seeking the lost sheep, the merciful Father welcoming the prodigal son, the generous landowner, and the judge separates the sheep and the goats.\n\nStudying the parables helps Catholics think like Christ, live like Christ, and love like Christ.\n\nBut beyond this, studying the parables can lead to a genuine encounter with Christ our Lord.\n\nAge Recommendations\nThe Parables of Jesus was created for the Whole Family. Although most children in fifth grade or older could use the study on their own, it was not intended to be used this way. Instead, The Parables of Jesus was designed to be led by a parent to children of various ages.\n\nProduct Specifications\nThe Parables of Jesus is:\n8.5” x 11”\nSpiral Bond\nFull Color\nSturdy Cover\n\n","brand":"Catholic Sprouts LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54304253673685,"sku":"BK-POJ-01","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4667\/files\/72c5ac44654e936c614d4bb2e4361f74f242f21ec7b119fb460cadb251acdabd.png?v=1784570689","url":"https:\/\/saintgeorgeco.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-parables-of-jesus-scripture-study-for-catholic-families","provider":"St. George ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
