Stories to Live By

Jesus often taught using stories — simple on the surface, but rich with eternal meaning.


In Stories to Live By, Michele Telfer walks through the parables of Jesus, helping us see them as His original listeners would have.


Because these stories were spoken into a culture very different from our own, it’s easy to miss what Jesus was really saying. This eight-part study brings clarity, depth, and fresh insight, revealing what the parables teach us about God’s Kingdom — and our place in it as followers of Christ.


Give a gift of any amount and receive a digital copy of Stories to Live By, an eight-lesson study that includes reflection questions on the Parables of Jesus.


Your gift helps continue the teaching ministry of In the Word, making biblical truth accessible to believers around the world.
