I first saw this book when someone loaned it to me for my Bible study preparation. It was very old--out of print. When I started to read it, I immediately recognized it was different from the standard, "me-centered" study books of today. I reluctantly had to return it to its owner when the study was over, but providentially I found a copy on Amazon! I highly recommend this book not only to those studying the parables, but to anyone to use in their regular devotions. Many good spiritual insights...
