When Jesus spoke to the multitudes, he spoke in parables so that he could explain his teachings in everyday terms that were familiar to all. Even though these stories were first told over two thousand years ago, their inherent lessons are ever so pertinent in today's world. Dr. Ervin Seale has taken the parables to illustrate how their basic, spiritual truths still form the cornerstone of the good life. By learning to think well, to banish negative ideas, to encorage positive thoughts, and then to put those positive thoughts to work, there will be no fears and no defeats.
