The book is based on the parable of the ten virgins from the Bible and aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the parable and its relevance to their lives. The parable of the ten virgins tells the story of ten bridesmaids who were waiting for a bridegroom to arrive. Five of the bridesmaids were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, while the other five were foolish and did not bring enough oil. When the bridegroom arrived, the wise bridesmaids were able to light their lamps and go with him to the wedding banquet, while the foolish bridesmaids were left outside in the dark. Through his book, Shepard explains the symbolism of the parable and its spiritual significance. He emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the second coming of Christ and living a life that is pleasing to God. Shepard also provides practical advice on how to live a life of faith and how to avoid being like the foolish bridesmaids who were unprepared. Overall, ""The Parable of the Ten Virgins Opened and Applied"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to live a life of faith and be prepared for the return of Christ.
