"...the parables constitute the heart of Jesus' preaching." -Pope Benedict XVI

The parables are stories told straight from the Teacher Himself. The parables teach us about the Kingdom of God and His Heart for the world.

These are the stories our kids need to know.

The parables have been so valuable in Christian tradition that there are plentiful artworks depicting them.

We've chosen 12 of the best for this one-of-a-kind study.

This picture study includes:

• 12 high-quality, UV-coated 8.5x11 prints of sacred art of each parable

• A parent booklet explaining the importance of picture studies and how to do one with your children

• A sturdy folder in which to preserve the study so you can use it again and again

• An open-and-go catechesis for each parable, teaching truths about God and His Church from the painting itself.

• Discussion questions to help the child engage with the painting.

Spend just 15 minutes with each painting to give your child a comprehensive experience of the parables that will not only expand their minds but also their hearts.
