Stories That Astonish, the Parables of Jesus

Stories That Astonish, the Parables of Jesus by Prentise Meador

---

Written over a hundred years ago, this rich volume of meditations and prayers resonates with the spiritual longings of our own age. It is an invitation to hear the voice of God, to sit quietly in his presence, to allow him to examine our hearts, to experience his love and holiness.

Part One contains meditations on scripture passages focusing on our relationship with God, and the privileges and duties growing out of that relationship. Part Two is a collection of prayers for Private Devotions, Family Worship, and Special Occasions covering a wide range of spiritual needs.

The collection was originally targeted toward young Christians to help them learn the ways of prayer. But many who have been Christians for years are still new to the experience of meditation, contemplation and listening to God. Whether old or young in the faith, Christians will find rich guidance in these meditations and prayers.
