Torry Martin—a comedian, actor, and hippie—fled from California to the wilderness of Alaska, searching for answers to life''s big questions. He found what he was looking for...and a lot more!

A moose got its head stuck in Torry''s window. A reindeer was trapped in his kitchen. A bear almost prevented him from reaching his airplane. He once woke up frozen to his cabin floor.

Like the Israelites of old, Torry experienced plenty of miracles and mishaps in the wilderness. And like them, he came face-to-face with God and was changed forever.

Each of these true stories of Torry''s hilarious blunders and misfortunes contains a nugget of truth, but one theme prevails: If God can reclaim and repurpose Torry Martin''s life, He can do the same for you and those you love.

No study of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is complete without an understanding of the parables he taught.Most books that cover parables generally cover the better-known ones. They avoid the difficult, challenging, and obscure.Art Zacher and Doug Peterson break that tradition in this book, covering dozens of the parables spoken by Jesus. When Jesus shared these parables with individuals and groups, He challenged them to live a godly life—and that challenge is still relevant today.Each parable is set in its historic setting, with previous and following events noted. The authors reveal where Jesus spoke each parable, who His audience was, and what each one means. Each parable is classified with other parables on the same topic for easy reference.Get detailed insights on what Jewish people were thinking as they waited for their Messiah along with insights on the practical applications of Jesus’ teachings today with the lessons in Keys to the Kingdom.
