Stories Jesus Told — Mary John

A retelling of the parables of Jesus, rewritten for children ages 6 and up. It has been my experience that children do not understand the parables, hence this book. The stories are told simply in the words of Our Lord, except that some of archaic language was changed, and customs of the time are explained to help overcome some of the confusion. Each story ends with a brief explanation of the basic meaning. Each story is accompanied by artwork from the great masters depicting the story.
