Synopsis

Truth Missiles: The Explosive Parables of Jesus

Jesus’ parables aren’t just stories—they are truth missiles, designed to challenge, confront, and transform lives.

Many people learned the parables in Sunday school but never revisited them as adults.

In his new, and always engaging, book "Truth Missiles", pastor and bible teacher Peter JR Smith uses both his biblical understanding and real world experience to explore these timeless lessons, sharing not only the meaning of the parables, but showing how they remain just as explosive and relevant today as when Jesus first spoke them.

Through clear explanations, fresh insights, and modern-day “Not-a-Parables”, across 33 short, bite-sized chapters, this book will bring the parables powerfully to life, helping you understand Jesus’ teachings, revealing the original message of his parables with clarity, and all in a way that speaks directly to your everyday challenges.
