    About this ebook

    As Jesus explained in Matthew 13:13, we live in a world where truth is often not easily or readily received. As seen in the Gospels, Jesus used parables as an important teaching tool to convey biblical truths and principles, that those diligent to seek out the meaning of parables would grow deeper in their knowledge of gospel truth.

    Inspired by Matthew 13:13, The Fig Tree Pages are devotionals that illustrate biblical themes and lessons through simple, easy-to-read short stories. The 30 devotionals inspire you to relate the stories to your everyday life, while using the provided Recommended Scripture Readings and Challenge Questions for further reflection and application.

    Each Fig Tree Page serves to nourish and edify you, helping you discover more about God and how He is working in your life.
