And How Shall You Know All Parables: A Thematic Framework for Understanding the Gospels Based on the Parable of the Sower (A Discipling Tool) provides a framework for understanding the Gospel/Acts in the context of the Parable of the Sower. This book is the creation of published author, John Wedlock. In his book John shares, “Jesus said in Mark 4:13 – ‘And He (Jesus) said to them (the disciples), ‘Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all parables?” Is Jesus suggesting that the understanding of this parable was necessary for the understanding of all that He was teaching?
This book provides for an understanding of the Parable of the Sower and, also, a means for understanding the Gospels/Acts based on the thematic context of that parable. The themes of each of the Gospels/Acts are identified based on the nature of the soils in the parable. A direct connection is made between the people-type soils of the Parable of the Sower and each of the themes of the Gospels/ Acts. These connections provide for a deeper understanding of the Gospels/Acts and for a clearer insight into how these Scriptures apply to everyday life and meeting individual intrinsic needs. The progressive nature of these connections is presented, and it forms a user-friendly framework for spiritual maturity. A study guide for each of the Gospels/Acts, based on the themes of the Parable of the Sower (and used by John for years in his teaching), is also included.
John is a former U. S. Navy officer, secondary school history teacher/department chair, basketball coach, and public school superintendent. He also has served as a Christian school headmaster, elder board chairman, Bible teacher, and for the last 45 years has discipled men to be more consecrated and committed followers of Jesus Christ. John lives with his wife of 56 years, Louise, in St. Petersburg, Florida, and is blessed with 3 children, 7 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
