The Scandal of the Kingdom: How the Parables of Jesus Revolutionize Life with God
ByPublisher Description
What does it mean to truly live in the kingdom of God in our day-to-day lives? Discover the wisdom and wonder of the parables of Jesus as they unlock secrets of our faith and reveal the nature and availability of God's kingdom here on earth.
The parables are some of Jesus's best-known teachings, but they are also some of the least understood. Even the disciples weren't always sure what they meant. This book of powerful and carefully curated new material from the late author Dallas Willard helps us understand the heart of Jesus's kingdom-focused parables, why Jesus chose story to communicate life's deepest truths, and how these stories told over two thousand years ago are still revolutionary and even shocking in showing us how to live out of the abundance of God's kingdom on earth today.
With the rich insights and biblical scholarship common to all of Willard's works, The Scandal of the Kingdom helps
Become more passionate about living the gospel in the full scope of Jesus's vision for usBetter share the faith of Jesus with those disillusioned with ChristianityUnlock the excitement of living in the upside-down kingdom of God

“Dallas Willard again shares a radical way to live life in the kingdom of God. Some points were good, nothing very mind blowing but some good take aways. Probably got to re-read again! Maybe I read it too slowly…”
