Jesuswas a master storyteller. He could weave timeless, eternal truths into theseemingly simplest of stories. His tales not only disarmed his listeners, butthey also imparted powerful insights into the nature of God in familiar terms.Inthis same spirit, Scenes of Glory is a collection of story sermons that communicatethe truth of God's word through familiar images like a vacation drive, twofriends sitting under an apple tree, or football season. While each of thestories may take the reader into familiar territory, they may also offer a viewof the gospel in a rather unfamiliar and thought-provoking way.Completewith study questions at the end of each chapter, this resource is great forpersonal Bible study and devotion as well as group studies. It is also valuablefor pastors needing either sermon inspiration or simply an alternate view of aparticular biblical text.Ourlife is a series of stories. Scenes of Glory is an enriching additionto anyone's personal story.David O. Bales was a Presbyterian minister for 33 years.
