The actor took each parable and presented it in a fun manner while delivering the Gospel message faithfully and relevant to the present day. I found myself looking forward to each new parable to see how it was going to be interpreted. Do yourself a favor and spend an hour with The Parable Man. The hour will fly by and you’ll find yourself in a good mood. It’s a great way to experience the Gospel."
