When Jesus Tells the Story

A Guide to Finding Your Place in God’s Story Most of us want a life that matters. We want purpose, impact, and meaning—but somewhere along the way, it’s easy to settle for something smaller, safer, and more predictable. We try to control the plot, avoid the hard chapters, and write a story that protects our comfort rather than deepens our faith. In When Jesus Tells the Story, Jeff Poor walks through eight parables of Jesus as invitations into the life God is writing. With honesty, biblical insight, and pastoral wisdom, he helps readers examine the stories they are currently living and discover what it means to surrender the pen to Christ. These familiar parables become mirrors, exposing where we are lost, shallow, distracted, self-protective, or afraid—and pointing us toward grace, renewal, courage, compassion, and purpose. Step into the story Jesus is telling. It may not be easy, but it will be worth living. Jeff Poor has spent fifteen years helping people understand the Bible and live it out in everyday life. A pastor and writer, he is passionate about helping people step into a faith worth living. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Gail, and their two sons.
