Jesus’ parables aren’t just stories—they are truth missiles, designed to challenge, confront, and transform lives.
Many people heard the parables in Sunday school but never revisited them as adults. Yet these short, powerful stories were never Jesus’ youth ministry… they were his primary way of teaching, packed with profound biblical wisdom and deep spiritual truths.
In "Truth Missiles", pastor and Bible teacher Peter JR Smith uses both his biblical understanding and real world experience to explore these timeless lessons. In his usual warm-humoured tone, he clarifies the meaning of the parables one by one, revealing how they’re just as challenging (or explosive..) as when Jesus first spoke them.
With clear explanations, historical insights, and modern-day “Not-a-Parables”, the 33 punchy, bite-sized, chapters bring the parables powerfully to life. You’ll gain clarity on the challenge of Jesus’ teachings in a way that speaks directly to your everyday challenges.
What You’ll Discover in This Book:- The Word of God handled faithfully.
- The straightforward meaning of Jesus’ most famous parables.
- How these stories reveal God’s Kingdom, justice, and grace.
- Practical ways to apply Jesus’ teachings to your life and faith.

Praise for Truth Missiles:
“As a minister and biblical scholar, I found this book refreshingly insightful. Smith rightly emphasises that parables aren't comfortable children's stories but challenging truths. His accessible approach doesn't sacrifice depth—the short chapters, modern retellings, and reflection questions make these "truth missiles" come alive for contemporary readers. It's good to find a book that bridges scholarly understanding with practical application so well.”
“The book is well researched, annotated, and laid out in manner that is easy to read and contemplate. The best part is that the author is Biblically sound in his presentation of the parables and does a wonderful job of explaining the practical application of thirty three parables that Jesus taught.”
“This book was very well written and touches your heart, mind and soul as a Christian.”
“A fantastic book, with short, simple and easy to understand explanations of the parables of Jesus...."
“There's a lot to like about this book. The style of writing is excellent and the humour is spot-on. The introduction to Parables is great and necessary… I would definitely recommend to any who thinks they have a handle on the Parables and thinks Jesus is meek and mild. (He's no hippy - here's the proof)
"...The mix of analysis and little asides keep it light hearted, but engaging. An interesting and enjoyable read that l'd recommend people explore."
