    About this ebook

    The Parable of the Talents revisits the ancient story of three men and the fateful gift that would shape their destinies. Compelled by their benefactor to engage in a game of chance, they are torn between two motives so old as to transcend culture, race, religion and time. Their choice and ours, when faced with the same struggle, is of such consequence as to make all other questions shrink in comparison. This book seeks to shed light on this common perplexity and to follow its ramifications to their ultimate end. While its message has sober implications, it is intended to give hope and encouragement toward a simple course which if pursued, will yield dividends of meaningfulness, significance and ultimately, joy.
