Join us at the Billy Graham Library for Book Talks, a monthly group conversation about one of the many good reads we offer in Ruth’s Attic bookstore.

Deepen your relationship with Christ and discover how to share your faith with others as we dive into a specific title. When you RSVP, you’ll receive a free copy of that month’s chosen book, though finishing it is not required to attend. Bookstore staff will help lead each discussion, which will be held in Billy Kim Hall near the dairy bar.

Space is limited, so sign up today.

In August, we’re reading Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, by R. Albert Mohler, Jr. In Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, pastor and theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. reveals the unique power of Jesus’ parables for today’s readers, showing how they announce the kingdom, communicate both judgment and grace, and call every human heart toward transformation in the light of God’s love.

“He who has ears, let him hear…” The Prodigal Son. The Good Samaritan. The parable of the mustard seed. The stories Jesus told during his earthly ministry are packed with such memorable images and characters that they now permeate our culture’s popular imagination. But what if their familiarity has muted their powerful message, causing today’s readers to miss their ability to shock and transform?

In Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, Mohler unlocks the power of Jesus’ parables for readers today. Jesus perfected the art of telling parables–short stories with a surprising twist and an explosive message that confronted his listeners with surprising (and often uncomfortable) truths about the human heart and the kingdom of heaven. But two thousand years later, modern readers may not grasp the cultural and historical context that made these stories so compelling for Jesus’ original audience. Mohler brings Jesus’ stories to life, uncovering the context and allowing readers to hear these stories in all their shocking, paradigm-shifting power.
