The Parable of the Young Priest is a tremendous book written by Melvin Douglas Wilson, author of The Good Book and The Parable of the Spirit that Whispers. This book brings out an important biblical theme to children concerning one of the most powerful forces in the world today, which is love. This book applies the use of a parable and exceptional illustrations throughout the book to paint a clear and vivid picture in the mind of readers the importance of love in our daily lives. The Parable of the Young Priest also teaches a very valuable lesson: "It is not about whom you may know in this world, or what you may know in this world, but it is about the love that you show to God first and the many other people that you come in contact with in this journey we call life." The Parable of the Young Priest has been re-written for children ages eight to thirteen, but the great biblical themes in the story can provide wisdom and moral teaching for adults of all ages.
