FYS: The Power of Story: Christ’s Parables and Your Life Story (Walling)

Levine reveals the parables' connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us--and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

"The Greatest Salesman In The World" was first published by Og Mandino in 1968. As opposed to offering sleazy tricks, the book suggests the simplest way to be more convincing in all aspects of life is to become a better person in all aspects of life. Taking inspiration from Christian spirituality, the book presents ten valuable habits via ten “ancient scrolls" to adopt in order to succeed in sales.
