Throughout history; Jesus' parable of the sower has served as a beautiful word picture of the Christian life. And in modern times; no one has communicated this message more fervently than Billy Graham. His son Franklin is now carrying the torch of this vital message and has created a poignant; 31-day devotional to remind Christians what our purpose is in this life. This book gives readers step- by-step instruction and daily inspiration for following in Jesus' footsteps. Never before has this message been presented so beautifully and yet so practically. It will be a treasure for every Christian's personal devotions as well as a great gift for encouraging others.
"Those who do the work of sowing the seed know that much inevitably falls upon stony ground and bears no fruit, but if only a few seeds flourish, the results are manifold." Billy Graham
In Jesus' day, it was common for large crowds to gather to hear His words. Some people were curious. Some were skeptical. Some were burdened. Some were joyous. Still, the Son of Man sowed the seed of truth into stony hearts and thirsty souls.
The lessons that can be gleaned from the parables of Jesus--especially the parable of the Sower--are innumerable. As you walk in His steps for the next thirty-one days through the biblical inspirations and guided questions in this book, you too will be moved to proclaim God's salvation to the lost, His forgiveness to the broken, and His hope to the weary.
The parable reminds us that not every seed will take root and bear fruit. But Scripture tells us to follow in the Savior's steps anyway. To sow the good seed of the Gospel. To go into your world, your neighbourhood, your school, your workplace, and declare the truth about God who saves.
