Watch the trailer for Tales of the Unexpected.
Everyone likes a good story, especially when there’s a surprise at the end.
Jesus is famous for the stories he told. And many people still read and listen to his words today. Why? — because Jesus’ words seem to understand us and explain us. And they open up the way for us to know God.
In Tales of the Unexpected you’ll find four simple but startling stories that Jesus told. You’ll find some surprising things about yourself, about God and about life.
Using a modern, easy-to-understand translation of the Bible, and the accompanying DVD, this straightforward guide will help you understand who Jesus is, why he came, and the difference he can make for people today.
Requires the accompanying DVD.

Short, challenging and well-presented
Well-chosen parables, well presented; the challenge of Jesus' words comes across powerfully. The questions in the booklets work well just as they are and each week builds helpfully on what's gone before.
20 people signed up for our first course - many more than normally come to our 'full-length' evangelistic courses. 8 of these continued to a longer course and all of those now want to do more.
We also had difficulty flicking pages to get to the Bible passages but just photocopied these to use with the studies. Would be helpful to have some invitations available for over-printing. 
A great short easy to use course
This course is great to use with people who are genuinely interested in finding out about Jesus. It is simple, yet thought provoking. I have been using it with people who are relatively academic, and they have been enjoying it. I think it is good for people who cannot commit to a 10 week course like Christianity Explored.
The only thing that I would change would be perhaps to put the Bible passages in a pull out section, such as in the centre of the book. This would make it easier when answering the Bible study questions .
