Parables From The Back Side Planning Kit

Bring an author into your group!

Behind the Pages is designed to give your group a unique opportunity to meet authors, learn what has inspired them, and hear them answer questions about their books that you might ask if you were visiting with them in person.

J. Ellsworth Kalas brings to your group his years of experience as a preacher, educator, public speaker, and author. Parables from the Back Side is one of his most popular books, and it is the first in which he adopted the approach of taking familiar Bible stories or Scripture passages and looking at them in new and unexpected ways.

· DVD including “Meet J. Ellsworth Kalas” and 12 weekly sessions (10 minutes each)

· Leader’s Guide with complete instructions for planning and leading your group’s discussions following the video presentations

· One copy of Parables from the Back Side: Bible Stories with a Twist, the book J. Ellsworth Kalas will be discussing chapter by chapter
