In this volume, But Without a Parable Jesus Did Not Speak Interpretation of All the Parables of Jesus Christ tenders a brand-new outlook on the ministry of Jesus as a human being and as eternal God and serves a biblical interpretation of the spiritual language of parables. This gospel commentary was taken from the Book of Matthew that harmonizes teachings of the other New Testament books and, from that point on, offers a cultural and political background of the times when Jesus was living in Israel, with dates and historical fact and analysis of everything written in his three-and-a-half-year ministry on earth. Since this is a resource that interprets all the gospel parables spoken by Jesus from Matthew, Mark, and Luke and, in addition, makes clear his plan of salvation created from the foundation of the world, But Without a Parable Jesus Did Not Speak Interpretation of All the Parables puts forward a detailed description at the time of the cross while Jesus was alive and knew that all things at that moment had been accomplished and the scriptures had been fulfilled. He cries out “it is finished,” and that moment in time ensures the payment for sin was fully paid for while Jesus was still alive on the cross. And another aspect of the book explains the controversy of divorcement and the NT Sabbath day, which are all included as part of the new covenant that comprises the doctrines of the Christian churches.

Francis J. (Frank) Connelly Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., the author, 76 yrs. of age as of this writing, is a veteran of the Korean war, spending 14 months "over there." He retired as a Lieutenant from the N.Y.P.D. in 1975 after 25 yrs. of service. The urge to write came to a boil late in life when his daughter Catherine, and her husband Tom presented him with a computer on his 70th birthday. "Jesus Says" is his third, and most ambitious effort, and according to Frank, "It was a labor of love, and an honor to write about the words of Jesus." Jesus loves you. So much so, that according to the divine plan, He became man, and when He was 30 yrs. of age He commenced an earthly ministry lasting three years during which Jesus suffered the scorn and rejection of those He had come to save. He preached a Gospel of repentance, forgiveness of sins, and salvation paid for by His suffering and death on the cross. His love for you knows no bounds. You are never alone. Jesus is with you. He is ready to listen to your prayers. Pray to him. Say His name; it is magic. The great irony of this world is that so many reject Jesus, opting instead for shallow and transient values offered by Satan in exchange for their immortal souls.

Unquestionably, this book is 100% factual! It offers an ordinary person's (the author's) perspective on the love and mercy of God, which is based on her actual and extraordinary personal experiences. At the same time, this book highlights the power of scripture, as well as the importance of prayer and faith. The author exposes her life to the world in order to help others discover the simplicity of listening to the Lord in various ways, whether through written words, people, or life experiences.

When I was young, I was mysteriously protected and kept from harm. I was hit by a car, severely burned on the palms of my hands, and literally thrown out of a car into a busy intersection. Somehow I never sustained any injuries. I had many questions as this divine protection and provision continued throughout my life. Little did I know that what I endured was part of a plan for me to know what I have now learned, and share this with all who will listen. These adventures with our heavenly Father not only gave me answers to my questions but also much understanding of our Father and His works. This book tells about my adventures and part of what I learned. It is the beginning of a series of books containing what our Father has taught me. It was not easy for me to hear. It was not easy for me to write. It is always difficult for us to listen to Him. All He is asking now is for us to listen to what He has told us from the beginning and respond.

This is one of the saddest pictures in all the Bible. Jesus Christ is outside of the professing church pleading for entrance. The strict interpretation of this passage is, "Behold, I have taken my stand at the door, and am knocking." This is an activity going on today. He continues knocking, for sorted out Christendom is in numerous quarters energized with a same soul that characterized the husbandmen in the story of Luke 20:9-18. By and by we see where men have assumed control or taken over what rightly belongs to God. A equally heart-searching message is here also for the individual Christian. This tender but delicate request isn't expressed in the voice of the Judge of Revelation 20, yet originates from our High Priest's heart of love for His blood-bought people. Jesus needs to impart the best of paradise's endowments to His own. The steadiness of this love is confirmed or evidenced by the fact, as we have noted previously, that He continues knocking. Is it accurate to say that we are among the individuals who have received salvation from Him but then have defied and rebelled surrendering our everything to Him? Instead of His finding an open heart, would he say he is stood up to with a closed door? Having readily acknowledged discharge (release) from wrongdoing's (sin's) guilt and embraced the assurance of paradise, would we say we are yet rejecting or refusing Him access to various areas of our regular day to day lives? He wants to share with us glories far above anything we could ask or think; but the latch is on our side of the door; He won't force His benefits on any of us. He promises to come in and sup with us. Of this Ottman has expressed: "A dinner is a night supper, it is the last taken before the morning breaks and the day first lights. It is since a long time ago the apostle stated, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand'; to sup with Christ before morning breaks is a foretaste of the coming glory...of heaven." The time is growing short, and by keeping Him on the outside we are presently missing the best He has for us. Let us make a full and happy surrender to Him. We will find as John expressed in his first epistle: "Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ."

A Daily Devotional based on the popular spiritual classic He and I Jesus began speaking to French mystic Gabrielle Bossis when she was in her sixties. The conversations continued to the end of her life, and became the beautiful spiritual classic He and I. Jesus Speaking is a beautiful devotional taken from the original book of conversations between Jesus and Gabrielle. A carefully chosen Scripture passage complements every excerpt from the book, along with a meditation on that day’s reading. Bossis’ intimate conversations with Christ are instructive as well as inspirational. An invaluable guide for anyone looking for growth in the spiritual life, Jesus Speaking encourages readers to cultivate a daily habit of prayer and a personal relationship with Christ through the Church. Jesus Speaking is a daily devotional that will inspire readers of spiritual classics. Born and raised in France, Gabrielle Bossis (1874–1950) was a single woman and a nurse during World War I, who later became a playwright and touring artist. Her journals revealed a rich spiritual life. The French edition of Lui et Moi (He and I) has been translated into many languages and sold worldwide.
