The Parables and Miracles of Jesus helps bring the Gospel stories to life. But what are parables and miracles? And is there a difference between the two? Parables are simple short stories that reveal deep truths, while miracles describe amazing events that show God’s love and power in action.
In this book you will discover parables – as told by Jesus – that help us understand how we should live today.
Then dive into an array of fascinating miracles, from calming stormy seas to healing the sick – and many more.
The Parables and Miracles of Jesus – filled with colourful illustrations, helpful tables, and easy-to-follow maps – is a book you will want to return to again and again.

“The Parables and Miracles of Jesus by Kathryn Robinson is an exceptional resource for students aged 10-14 years, masterfully combining visual imagery and biblical literacy to make learning about the life, time and teaching of Jesus Christ comprehensive and absorbing. The resource is thoughtfully constructed, and the writing style will be appealing to this age group, expertly translating Gospel messages to the contemporary world.

“Kathryn Robinson’s latest publication, The Parables and Miracles of Jesus, will prove to be as invaluable as her earlier work, Know Your Bible, as her knowledge of and passion for Scripture come to the fore. All too often, unfortunately, both the parables and miracles of Jesus are misunderstood. This book will go a long way towards addressing this. As an experienced Religious Education Teacher and Leader and a Curriculum Adviser, Kathryn Robinson writes with the teacher and classroom in mind. I suggest that The Parables and Miracles of Jesus will spend little time on bookshelves and many hours in teachers’ hands as they explore and deepen their knowledge
of this vital part of the teaching and ministry of Jesus. ”
