New Book by Bestselling Author Kenneth Behr Unlocks the Hidden Mysteries in Jesus’ Parables

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Orlando, FL – May 17, 2025 – Discovering the Mysteries in the Parables of Jesus, the latest release from bestselling author Kenneth Behr, is now available in print and digital formats through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and select Christian bookstores. Published by Xpyria Press, this thought-provoking and accessible work explores the deeper meaning behind 35 of Jesus’ parables, revealing profound truths often overlooked in casual reading.

In a world filled with uncertainty and cultural upheaval, many are seeking wisdom that endures. Behr’s new book invites readers on a journey to uncover the divine mysteries embedded in the teachings of Christ—mysteries that Jesus Himself said were hidden from some but revealed to others. Drawing from Matthew 13:11—“To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven”—Behr challenges readers not merely to apply the parables to their lives, but to allow Scripture to interpret Scripture and reveal the Kingdom truths beneath the surface.

Known for his blend of biblical scholarship and pastoral warmth, Pastor Ken Behr offers clear, concise, and spiritually rich insight into each parable. His book has already garnered enthusiastic praise from pastors, lay leaders, and scholars alike:

“I realize now that I was only scratching the surface of the deep mysteries that Christ was explaining… a valuable reference and a quick read that will change my priorities for the day.”
—Dr. Patricia Cash, Sunday School Teacher

“Excellent as a daily devotional or a go-to resource for teaching… a joy to read!”
—Dr. Drew Hage, Pastor

“Brings new depth to familiar parables, helping readers uncover timeless wisdom… a valuable resource for anyone seeking to grow in faith and leadership.”
—Kevin Cramton, CEO & Author

With wide appeal to Bible students, church leaders, and new believers alike, this book includes practical applications, historical and cultural context, prophetic insight, and even visual introductions to each parable. From the generosity of the Sower to the mystery of the Fig Tree, Behr helps readers discover how Jesus’ teachings about the Kingdom speak to the past, the present, and the future.
