When a global pandemic threatens the very foundation of our society, what hope for healing does a hurting world have? 

Parables from the Pandemic: Holding onto Hope in a Hurting World is a collection of beautifully illustrated short stories and reflection questions. The characters we meet in Parables invite us to explore our faith in the context of themes such as regulation and revolution, community and division, surveillance and freedom, and waiting and redemption. Parables calls readers to question what defines our identity, our humanity, and our destiny. Great for individual reflection or Bible Study, Christian Living, Theology on Tap, or religious or faith-based book club groups, Parables shows us no matter what we face on this side of Heaven, the only hope worth holding onto is always by our side.
