Disorderly Parables

Winner of Readers’ Favorite 2019 Silver Medal for Christian Study
and the 2021 Silver Medal for Christian Books

Not your ordinary Bible Studies. Each book is a parable—a modern day story—wrapped around a biblical commentary. These stories will make you think about ancient scripture in new ways, provide insight into what is happening in the world today,
surprise you with laughter as you catch a vision of the journey ahead,
and energize you to live out your faith on paths you never expected taking.

Why Disorderly?

Jesus used parables—stories of everyday people and things—to illustrate spiritual truths. His parables were not nice tidy stories. They were disorderly and subversive.  They were meant to dismantle ideas the listener thought were truth, but were not. With the Disorderly Parables Books, you will learn like Jesus taught, through stories of everyday people and things. You will walk away with both a story that will challenge you and a thorough understanding of the scripture. The books also contain a discussion guide designed for groups who want to read the book together.
