Remembering the Parables - Using the Art of Memory to remember Jesus' parables (Paperback)

The Art of Memory has been used for mental and spiritual training by ancient orators (e.g., Cicero), Christian figures (e.g., Thomas Aquinas), and modern practitioners (e.g., Dominic O'Brien) since before the time of Christ. This powerful memory technique can also be used to remember other kinds of information (lists, speeches, important dates, etc.). At its essence, the Art of Memory involves placing symbolic images at designated locations along a journey. IN THIS BOOK, YOU'LL FIND: Step-by-step instructions to memorize 30 parables using the Art of Memory. 30 full-page paintings plus diagrams to help you visualize your memory journey. Each parable distilled into a concise, elegant poem. Parables cross-referenced in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Thomas. A history of the Art of Memory and Jesus' parables. Techniques for remembering chapters and verse references. JESUS taught in figurative language. He compared the kingdom of heaven to leaven.He indicated how people should live in the kingdom by telling vivid and sometimes puzzling parables. Some of these parables suggest reversals of expectations.Very small things, like mustard seeds, can grow into majestic and great products. All of the parables contain tangible and vivid images. These images make them memorable. BY LEARNING JESUS' PARABLES BY HEART, you will become acquainted with Jesus' parables in a deeper way. By practicing the Art of Memory, you will grow to see remembering not as a tiresome and time-consuming task but as a relaxing pleasure. See your memories for what they are-treasures and enduring gifts.
