This book contains the following story:

House Built Upon a Rock
The phrase "house built upon a rock" comes from a parable told by Jesus in the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 24-27. The parable is often referred to as the "Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders." In the parable, Jesus compares two builders, one who built his house upon a rock and another who built his house upon sand. The builder who built upon a rock is described as wise because his house withstood the elements, while the builder who built upon sand is described as foolish because his house collapsed when the storms came. The parable is often interpreted as a metaphor for the importance of building one's life upon a strong foundation, whether it be a foundation of faith, values, or personal character. Those who build upon a strong foundation are better equipped to weather the storms and challenges of life, while those who build upon a weak foundation are more likely to falter and fail. The message of the parable is a call to action, encouraging listeners to consider the foundations upon which they are building their lives and to make sure that they are strong and secure.
