Parables Of Joshua
$16.00
In the latest chapter of his bestselling Joshua series, Joseph Girzone offers fresh inspiration in this collection of fifty never-before-published contemporary vignettes that underscore the most important lessons of the gospel.
Joseph Girzone’s novels about Joshua, the carpenter who transforms ordinary lives with words of peace and loving actions, have sold more than three million copies and captured the hearts of readers around the world. In The Parables of Joshua, perhaps his most powerful book since the original Joshua, Girzone distills the essence of Christian teaching in entertaining and inspiring “bite-sized” tales set against the background of current society.
For some today, the parables of the New Testament are quaint, old-fashioned stories, with little relevance to everyday life in the twenty-first century. As Girzone writes in his Introduction, “I have heard the most callous people comment with such great piety on the parables that I could not help but wonder if we haven’t made parables pleasant-sounding fables about human situations long past, but with no present-day meaning.” In order to recapture their original vitality Girzone revives the timeless messages behind the original parables by “dressing them in modern clothes,” presenting them through Joshua in a conversational style that will resonate with a modern audience.

When he happens upon the stunning young diva again at Mrs. Astor’s dinner the following night, he attempts to make amends and is instead pulled into a plot to win the great opera war.
