These parables are beautiful. Nearly all of them move me to tears. We read this for school, but I believe I got far more out of it than my kids. A book I will revisit often.

What a beautiful book of stories containing eternal truths. I’m so thankful to AmblesideOnline for introducing us to these stories. We read this book over the course of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.

Have spread these stories out over the last couple of school years and what a JOY this precious book has been. Encouraged and moved to tears by almost every story.

These were either good or great, so overall, they were done really well. However, I do think I got more out of them than my kids. Maybe I'll introduce it to them again when they're teens.
