Mustard Seeds and Viral Videos

“This is a remarkable book. Readers will see the parables of Jesus in a new light as they walk with Edwards through the stories he tells, experience the range of human emotions, and be encouraged to be changed by the encounter with the reality of the kingdom. I know of no book like it; I highly recommend it.”


—Glenn R. Kreider, editor-in-chief, Bibliotheca Sacra





“Mustard Seeds and Viral Videos places in modern garb the stories (read: parables) Jesus told. Using the imagination with which Jesus told his parables, this book gives a modern feel to these old images, but does so in a way that shows what Jesus’s point was all about. This book will take these familiar parables and show you afresh to see what they really mean. Well done.”


—Darrell L. Bock, Dallas Theological Seminary





“With the sophistication of a theologian, coupled with the sanctified imagination of a pastor, master storyteller Matt Edwards retells the parables of Jesus in such winsome ways that you will not only be startled into hearing good news as if for the first time, but find yourself ushered more deeply into the wonder of the kingdom of God.”


—Eric E. Peterson, pastor, Colbert Presbyterian Church
