Ruminations is a collection of poems that were all written in 2021. Covid-19 was ravaging the world and most of us were stuck at home. The first poem, “Sweetheart”, was written on my wedding anniversary. Typically, I go to our backyard to make a rose bouquet for my wife. This year, there were no roses in the garden. Fearing how my wife would react prompted me to write this poem. I shared the poem with my siblings who were all taken aback that I could write poetry. They encouraged me to write more. And my journey in verse began. I cannot say I am a poet but I did discover that I was able to take everyday life situations and put them in verse. Hence the title “Ruminations, Flashes of Thoughts, Sentiments and Emotions”. I then shared with other family members and friends and the reaction was encouraging. I also started blogging. I now have written just under 300 poems in 2021. Not sure if this will be a lifelong passion or not. Time will tell. But I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

A fresh look at the meaning of Jesus' parables for Christian living today. The parables recorded in the Gospels are central for an understanding of Jesus and his ministry. Yet the parables are more than simple stories; they present a number of obstacles to contemporary readers hoping to fully grasp their meaning. In this volume, thirteen New Testament scholars provide the background necessary to understand the original context and meaning of Jesus' parables as well as their modern applications, all in a manner easily accessible to general readers.
