Down to Earth: How Jesus’ Stories Can Change Your Everyday Life

by Tom Hughes

There’s hardly anyone in the world more down-to-earth than Jesus. That sounds far-fetched because, well, Jesus is God. But read the Gospels and you find Jesus telling stories that ring true from beginning to end, stories you can immediately identify with, stories that make you go “hmmm.”

In Down to Earth we learn that these stories are different from the stories we tell each other―these are stories intended to change your life. They’re soul stories―stories that get inside you and linger there, stories you start to find yourself living into. And when you do, you and the world around you are transformed for good.

I found this book so practical and helpful. While I didn’t necessarily agree with how he interprets all of the parables, I didn’t find that they weren’t biblical or that they contradicted what the bible says. I actually found it very helpful to look at the way he sees the parables. I will go back and reread this book. I’m also buying some copies for people in my life as it’s easy to understand and then wrestle with of how to apply and start living these principles in your own life. Highly recommend.

Great book with great present day explanations and applications. But it bothers me the author doesn’t capitalize He when speaking of God and Jesus.
