James W. MooreParables slip up on us. They flip our values. They turn our world upside down. They surprise us. This is the great thing about the parables of Jesus: They are always relevant and always personal. They speak eloquently to you and me, here and now. In this book, we will examine some of Jesus' thought-provoking parables, parables about priorities, to see if we can find ourselves and God's truth for us in these magnificent "e;truth-stories."e; They are, after all, truth-stories from the mind of Jesus that can change our lives as they proclaim God's truth for you and me.-adapted from the introductionEach of the six chapters features a key passage of Scripture and is centered on a theme from one of Jesus' parables, includingThe Priority of LoveThe Priority of GraceThe Priority of Being PreparedThe Priority of CourageThe Priority of ForgivenessThe Priority of Strong FoundationsJAMES W. MOORE, popular speaker and preacher, is the author of Yes, Lord, I Have Sinned, but I Have Several Excellent Excuses; God Was Here and I Was Out to Lunch; When Grief Breaks Your Heart; There's a Hole in Your Soul That Only God Can Fill; and many other books. He and his wife, June, live in Fairview, Texas.

Nell W. Mohney, adapted from the Introduction:"e;In seminars I have conducted over a thirty-year period, I have discovered that the quality most wanted by Americans is happiness. Many of those seminar participants drove to the seminars in luxury cars, and they looked well fed and well dressed. Yet, individually, they often expressed disappointment with life and admitted to having a feeling of emptiness. They wanted, and even felt entitled to, more happiness.I am one of those who truly believe that the basic answer to happiness is a spiritual one. We are made for God, and as Saint Augustine said, "e;Our hearts are restless 'til they rest in thee."e; All parts of our personalities are drawn to wholeness and happiness when Christ is resident within.In studying the life of Christ, I remembered that although Jesus was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, more than anything else he was a person of joy and happiness. Even his purpose in coming into the world is revealed in John 10:10: "e;I came that they might have life and have it abundantly."e; This abundant life, I believe, is not just in the world to come but in the here and now, where a series of committed choices can cause your spirit to sing."e;

I remember the first day I came home. There were four beautiful women walking out onto the porch to say hello. This was the home I'd almost forgotten about. Thank you, God, for leading me home.Have you ever felt lost?Do you long for a group of friends?Will you ever find your way home?In this remarkable book, the women of Magdalene ask questions that all of us ask, and they share their own joyous, painful, uplifting answers. Inspired by the classic Benedictine Rule, the women have written down 24 rules they live by in the Magdalene community, a place of healing and grace. "e;Magdalene is living out the call and making something of the Kingdom happen."e; -Tony Campolo, author of Speaking My Mind"e;With honesty and urgency, Becca Stevens and her fellow pilgrims from Magdalene reveal the insights gained on their personal journeys to wholeness."e; -Gloria Gaither, Christian recording artist"e;Magdalene has a tremendous track record of bringing recovery, hope, and independence to women in need."e; -Bill Frist, M.D., Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader"e;In Find Your Way Home there are 24 rules...designed to provoke people into discovering that God loves you as you are right now. And that God loves the possibility within you."e; -The Most Rev. Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, Episcopal ChurchMagdalene is a residential community of women who have a criminal history of prostitution and drug abuse. The women live together in a series of Magdalene homes, supporting themselves and each other through the work of Thistle Farms, a bath and body-care business run by those in the program.
