"I thoroughly enjoyed “The Parables.” I saw the performance on a Friday evening at Holy Spirit Church after a long hard work week and it was a lot of fun and a great stress reliever. The actor took each parable and presented it in a fun manner while delivering the Gospel message faithfully and relevant to the present day. I found myself looking forward to each new parable to see how it was going to be interpreted. Do yourself a favor and spend an hour with The Parable Man. The hour will fly by and you’ll find yourself in a good mood. It’s a great way to experience the Gospel."
