About this listen

Step into the bustling streets of ancient Jerusalem and meet two very different men: Simon, the proud Pharisee, who believes his good deeds make him special, and Levi, the humble tax collector, who carries the heavy burden of his mistakes. Through vivid sensory details and engaging storytelling, you'll feel the rustle of robes, the dust on the paths, the scent of Temple incense, and the quiet sighs of the soul.

Join Jesus as He shares a powerful parable that unlocks the true meaning of righteousness, humility, and God's boundless grace. This beautifully illustrated story will immerse young listeners in a journey of self-discovery, teaching them that God looks beyond outward appearances and into the sincerity of our hearts.

"The Proud Pharisee and the Humble Tax Collector" is a heartwarming and impactful tale that encourages children to embrace humility, seek forgiveness, and understand that true closeness to God comes not from what we do, but from who we are in His loving eyes. Perfect for family listening, this book offers a gentle yet profound lesson for all ages.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
