博客來This insightful, eye-opening book will forever change how you view Christ and His parables from the author of: Know Yourself, Love Yourself, and Express Yourself. The Secret Teachings of Christ is a breakthrough in revealing what Christ really wanted us to know. Not only did Christ hide His most crucial teachings in the parables, He also bestowed upon us three life-altering gifts: why we should accept and love ourselves, why we should know that we are important, and that we can make a difference. Knowing these will surely boost our self-esteem.
The parables appear to be simple stories that Christ told His listeners. They are encoded with hidden gems of truth that He could not reveal openly lest He be stoned and killed prematurely. The parables are a clever way to preserve His teachings for posterity. The time has come to reveal these truths openly and for all.
This book reveals the secret teachings of Christ based on the parables.
Some of the topics include:
- What lessons can we learn from the parable of the lamp?

- Who are Beelzebub and Satan?
- Where is the most fertile soil to sow spiritual seeds and who is the Sower?
- What exactly is the Kingdom of Heaven? Is it within us? How do we find and use it? Why is the Kingdom of Heaven like a seed, yeast, a treasure, a pearl and a net? How can discovering the Kingdom Within transform our lives?

For far too long a veil has been placed over our eyes so we cannot see clearly. Ignorance, bias, presupposition and entrenched beliefs are components of this veil. We are responsible for our lives. If the truth is important to know, then we must do the work. We must seek, ask and knock until we have a satisfactory answer. This book will give us the knowledge we need to change course for an enlightened life.
It has been 2 millennia since Christ appeared in Palestine and revealed His message of love, hope, and compassion. The world was in desperate need of His message then, as we are for the same message now. When Jesus first revealed His teachings, most rejected His message outright. Even those who knew Him, in His hometown, rejected Him.
We rejected Him then; let us not do it again.
