For over a decade the Sower's Seeds books have been a wonderful resource for teachers, preachers, and anyone who has to speak in front of an audience. Now author Brian Cavanaugh has revised and expanded his original volume--with twenty new stories--for old fans as well as a whole new audience. He includes stories of inspiration, warmth, and insight arranged around numerous universal themes ranging from awareness, compassion, perseverance, and wisdom, to such unusual themes as baseball, Thomas Edison, hospitality, and risk-taking. While the majority of stories are anonymous, there are some attributed to well known names like Zig Ziglar, Mickey Mantle, and Theodore Roosevelt. Years before there was Chicken Soup, Sower's Seeds was making readers laugh, cry, and come away with a warm heart. The newest book--like the others in the series--is ideal both for quiet inspiration and for handy, on-the-run fun. This is storytelling at its best.
THE CHRONICLES OF THE SEED In the Gospel of Mark, the fourth chapter, Jesus asked two questions that should have stopped us in our tracks. However for years I read right past this without a second thought. Jesus asked his disciples the following questions when they wanted an explanation about the parable of the sower. "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?" It was as if Jesus said STOP! Do not go any farther until you completely understand the essence of the parable of the sower. Just before this Jesus says "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables", suggesting that this is a great mystery that is not for everybody, but you (His disciples) have the privilege of knowing and understanding this mystery. Finally He gives the key to this great mystery, "The sower soweth the Word". In other words, the Word is 'The Seed'. The Word is the Seed that all other seeds proceed from. The Word of God was here before any other seed. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
Throughout the scriptures we find Jesus teaching in parables. Fortunately for us, when He was alone with His disciples, He spent time explaining them. The things He taught were Kingdom principles. By looking at these parables and their explanation we gain insight into the workings of the Kingdom. Perhaps the most important parable to understand is the parable of the sower. Jesus Himself confirmed this when the disciples asked its meaning, "Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?" (Mark 4:13). In other words, this parable is a key that unlocks the others. In the parable of the Sower of the Seed, Jesus explains how the Kingdom of God works, using the illustration of a farmer sowing seed. He shows how the Kingdom operates on the principle of seeds, with the Word of God being the seed that needs to be planted. Then, tells how different reactions to the seed determines the outcome of the harvest in our lives. This parable is an essential truth in unlocking and understanding the scriptures.
