This acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author "pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale" and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green, New York Times). When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.

Parable of the Talents celebrates the classic Butlerian themes of alienation and transcendence, violence and spirituality, slavery and freedom, separation and community, to astonishing effect, in the shockingly familiar, broken world of 2032. Long awaited, Parable of the Talents is the continuation of the travails of Lauren Olamina, the heroine of 1994's Nebula-Prize finalist, bestselling Parable of the Sower. Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughter&...from whom she has been separated for most of the girl's life&...with sections in the form of Lauren's journal. Against a background of a war-torn continent, and with a far-right religious crusader in the office of the U.S. presidency, this is a book about a society whose very fabric has been torn asunder, and where the basic physical and emotional needs of people seem almost impossible to meet.

Explanation of the Parable of the Sower in its entirety. We will explain the details in their biblical context and extract the truth implicit in each part of this parable. We will also combine the three perspectives of the details in Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8. Jesus Himself said that the parable of the sower is the key to understanding all the other parables as it is stated in Mark 4:13. Solid biblical knowledge for those who want to learn the truths hidden in the Scriptures. It's impossible to have a complete perspective of the biblical program that God has detailed for believers in the biblical text without understanding this parable. I would venture to say that the reason many believers live in a chaotic spiritual state is because of their lack of knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures, and understanding the parable of the sower is something that every believer should know almost immediately after the experience of being born again. Sadly, most of the teaching in churches today, and even in Christian literature, focuses on material wealth instead of spiritual growth. By no means am I criticizing anyone, for each one of us will be held accountable to God either at the judgment seat of Christ as stated in Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Corinthians 5:10, or at the white throne judgment of the damned in the lake of fire as stated in Revelation 20:11-15; Matthew 25:41; Mark 16:16; John 3:36. In this book you will find the answer to every single word used in connection with the parable of the sower, each one explained in its proper context and theme. After many years of teaching the Scriptures, I can tell you that you will find every answer to every question you may have if you search the biblical text and are open to being taught. I have never been motivated by financial gain or fame because I know what my God has said in His divine Word and my reward will come from Him and not from human recognition. I praise my God for allowing me to publish this book and share the wisdom and understanding that comes from Him [Matthew 11:25; Ephesians 1:17].
