A popular parable from the New Testament Book of Luke about a rich man who plans a party and invites lots of important guests. But when the day of the party arrives, the important guests all claim to be busy doing other things. Not wanting the food and drink to go to waste, the rich man extends the invitation to anyone who would like to join him, including the poor, the ill and the disabled. It turns out to be the best party the rich man has ever held! The message of this beautifully illustrated parable is that God loves us all and wants us all to share in the rewards of his love. This much-loved story from the New Testament is part of a series of parables, retold simply and clearly with beautifully illustrations and next steps at the back of the book to encourage further discussion. The perfect first introduction to Jesus' much-loved stories for young children.
