Shepherd of Hermas: Commandments and Parables

The Shepherd of Hermas – Commandments and Parables is a former Bible book from the second century that stresses that “Without love a man's heart is parched and cracked as the bottom of a dry well and his words are empty as a hollow gourd.” And this red letter Agrapha version weaves in hundreds of proven sayings of Christ from many ancient sources such as: “It is more blessed to give than to receive, therefore let your alms sweat in your hands until you know to whom to give it to. And as you pray, ask for the great things; but be content if only the little things are added unto you.” So be blessed by a multitude of the Lord's sayings like: “He that is greedy of riches is like one who drinks water from the sea. The more he drinks, the more his thirst increases; and he does not cease drinking until he perishes.” And truly I say unto anyone who has worldly hunger: The words of this book shall be a barren buffet; but to those who seek the Bread of Life they offer a true feast. Simply an amazing book therefore, especially considering the years of reasearch behind it. Jesus also said, " Neither can people who are like dry canals, ever be made to be a partaker of My living waters; nor can death be found in those who live for me, just as life can not be found in those who die daily to all that is morally good. " So please partake of this offering: For it shall bring forth scads of latter rain into the souls of any who are tired of a spiritual drought.
