One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by beloved author Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. introduces Catholic children to the parables that Jesus taught to His followers. The parables of Jesus are simple stories He used to teach important lessons about God and how we should live. Each parable has a special message, making it easy to understand and remember. One famous parable is The Good Samaritan, where a man helps a stranger who was hurt, even though others ignored him. This story teaches us to love and care for everyone, no matter who they are. Another parable is The Prodigal Son, where a young man leaves home and makes bad choices but is welcomed back by his father when he is sorry. This shows that God always forgives us when we ask. In The Lost Sheep, a shepherd leaves 99 sheep to find one that is lost. It reminds us that God loves each of us so much, He will always look for us if we go astray. Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd. Jesus also told the story of The Mustard Seed, where a tiny seed grows into a big tree. This teaches that even small acts of faith can grow into something great. These stories help us learn to love, forgive, and trust God in our everyday lives. Specific topics covered in this title include: The Great Feast The Sower The Mustard Seed The Treasure and the Pearl The Good Shepherd The Good Samaritan The Rich Man and Lazarus The Pharisee and the Publican The Laborers in the Vineyard The Judge and the Widow The Prodigal Son The Unmerciful Servant The Gold Pieces The Ten Bridesmaids
