A living parable turns a seaside mystery into an adventure

When Anthony arrives in Parable Port with his mother, he discovers a town where Jesus’ parables take physical form. Orange birds begin following him, while pollen-producing vines leave people unconscious; the trouble points to someone interfering with the Parable of the Sower. Anthony and his new friends investigate through clues and riddles as they try to protect the town. A map and chapter-opening illustrations accompany the story, and a devotional at the back explains the parable for young readers. The book also includes a QR code for character-led podcast content, extending the mystery beyond the printed pages.

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in Christian fiction and Bible-related stories.

Book overview

A hilarious action-adventure series for Christian kids set in a town where the parables of Jesus literally come to life.

When Anthony and his mom move to the seaside town of Parable Port, they're just hoping for a fresh start. Anthony soon finds out that there's something unusual about this little town: it's a place where Jesus' parables come to life in surprising ways.

The adventure begins when a flock of orange birds stalks Anthony and flowering vines grow everywhere, knocking people out cold with their pollen. In the good old days, the living parables would help the town to flourish. But now? Something or someone is messing with the Parable of the Sower and causing chaos.

With the help of his new friends Duck, J.R., Grace, and Brooklyn, Anthony must uncover clues, decipher riddles, and stay one step ahead of the birds and vines to save the town--before it's too late.
