Mahaney Multnomah Books, 2006 Great challenge in this book that's worth the read to find! This book is extremely helpful in several different ways. First, it highlights the importance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Second, it helps you to actually meditate on those truths--not to just gloss over them. And third--and this is the biggie--is that it poses a direct challenge that I have never heard anywhere else but is literally changing the way I live my life: Do I think ...             The Greatest Words Ever Spoken: Everything Jesus Said about You, Your Life, and Everything Else38 reviews Steven K. Scott WaterBrook Press, 2008 Perfection I got my book fast. It is in excellent condition. I will definitely use this company again. God Bless Them! Madeline             The Wisdom Jesus: Transforming Heart and Mind--A New Perspective on Christ and His Message17 reviews Cynthia Bourgeault Shambhala, 2008 Perfect in Every Way I absolutely loved this book, and the author's approach. How does one separate Christ's wisdom from what religion has made of it over two millenia? Jesus did not have the agenda of converting His followers into "Christians". Ms. Bourgeault, an ordained Episcopalian priest, manages to shine new light and life on a beautiful and complex subject.             Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith33 reviews Ann Spangler, Lois Tverberg Zondervan, 2009 Lights of understanding glowed as I read this great book. Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus is one of the best books I've read in a long time! I have been a Christian for more than 35 years and studied the Word since my conversion. I am so thankful for this book and the great amount of research and detail the authors provided. It will be a book I give and recommend to others. I am only sorry that I allowed projects to get in my way when I first ...             Reading Jesus: A Writer's Encounter with the Gospels Mary Gordon Pantheon, 2009 In the introduction to this remarkable book, Mary Gordon is riding in a taxi as the driver listens to a religious broadcast, and she reflects that, though a lifelong Christian, she is at odds with many others who identify themselves as Christians. In an effort to understand whether or not she had ?invented a Jesus to fulfill my own wishes,? she determined to read the Gospels as literature and to study Jesus as a character. What results is a ...             Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church27 reviews Michael Horton Baker Books, 2008 Outstanding, a must read I will speak from my own experience. I was attending an evangelical church, listened to tapes, preaching on the radio, went to small group bible studies, talked to the pastor, etc. And yet I was never able to grasp (or be grasped by) the gospel, the good news that Jesus Christ has done it all and there's nothing left for me to do. It was only when I read the Reformers (Luther, Calvin, Wesley's ...             The Jesus You Can't Ignore: What You Must Learn from the Bold Confrontations of Christ30 reviews John MacArthur Thomas Nelson, 2009 Most Excellent book! This is a followup to the Truth War and in this book MacArthur examines the life of Christ and how he dealt with false teachers and false doctrine. Some wonder why MacArthur did not name names and the reason is simple and smart. MacArthur wanted his book to be "timeless." Anyways the thesis of the book is stated on page xv and that we need to have the attitude of Jesus when it comes to false ...             One Wintry Night16 reviews Ruth Graham Baker Books, 2007 The Best Christmas Book Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of Billy Graham wrote what I think is the most comprehensive Christmas book for children ever. It tells not just of the birth story of Christ, but the whole story of Christmas and Easter. It is a fairly long book for a parent to read in a single night, so I use it as part of my advent celebration and break it up into five nights...with the final night on Christmas ...             Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes: Cultural Studies in the Gospels26 reviews Kenneth E. Bailey IVP Academic, 2008 Prepare to be amazed I read and recommend a lot of books; rarely do I find one that I savor, read slowly, and when I'm done with a chapter and lay it aside, look forward to reading the next. Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes seemed like a worthy study, and it came recommended, so I got a copy. I was a bit concerned that it would be dull, dry as dust. What I wasn't expecting was a book where I found on every page ...             The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels19 reviews Paramahansa Yogananda Self Realization Fellowship Pub, 2007 Just Because I Can Reading the reviews for this book makes me want to buy it, but also makes me hope that I never have to deal with some of you. Playing ping pong with scripture and arguing over whether Christ is the ONLY way to God and being saved or not, is really small minded. In every religion God (whatever God is) created everything and since God is perfection, then so is God's creation. Stop arguing over ...             In the Steps of Jesus: An Illustrated Guide to the Places of the Holy Land3 reviews Peter Walker Zondervan, 2007 Great guide to the Holy Land Peter Walker takes the reader on both a historical and modern day tour of the Holy Land. This work is full of helpful maps and pictures of the land in which Jesus traveled, beginning in Bethlehem with the birth of Jesus and from there to Nazareth. There is a key days chart for each location discussed and the important all of the important events that have happened there throughout history. The ...             The Historical Jesus: Five Views3 reviews Intervarsity Press, 2009 Nice Overview of Modern Biblical Scholarship "The Historical Jesus: Five Views" is a very nice overview of a number of perspectives in modern biblical scholarship. Obviously, five scholars cannot cover every single perspective. However, the contributors are all well known in their fields and often have divergent opinions. For those just wanting a basic overview of some different perspectives on the Historical Jesus in research, I would ...             The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?100 reviews John MacArthur Zondervan, 2008 Clear Presentation of the Gospel This is probably the best book I have read which clearly and easily explains the Gospel as Jesus did. A true Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, receives Him both as Lord and Savior. The Book is separated into six parts: * Today's Gospel: Good News or Bad * Jesus Heralds His Gospel * Jesus Illustrates His Gospel * Jesus Explains His Gospel * Jesus Fulfills His ...             Stories With Intent: A Comprehensive Guide to the Parables of Jesus11 reviews Klyne Snodgrass Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008 Indispensible reference volume This is an outstanding, comprehensive work on the parables of Jesus, with thorough background material and long quotes from primary sources in Jewish and Greek literature. Must reading for all who teach and preach the words of Jesus.             The Joy of Knowing Christ: Meditations on the Gospels Pope Benedict XVI Word Among Us Press, 2009             A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus, Volume 4: Law and Love (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference ...6 reviews John P. Meier Yale University Press, 2009 UN EJEMPLO DE RIGOR (Me permito escribir en español. Gracias) A los que hayan seguido los volúmenes anteriores no extrañará encontrarse con este ejemplo de rigor y seriedad que supone la investigación sobre el Jesús histórico que nos ofrece J.P. Meier. En un campo donde existe tanta palabrería y donde se multiplican obras pseudocientíficas que sólo buscan vender a base de decir tonterías, la obra de Meier sigue ...             The Politics of Jesus19 reviews John Howard Yoder Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994 THE POLITICS OF JESUS by John Howard Yoder The Politics of Jesus is John Howard Yoder's treatise on Jesus' political inclinations, based on and in response to twentieth century biblical scholarship. Yoder was a Mennonite biblical scholar, theologian, and professor of theology. The 1994 version of this book is a revision and expansion of his original version, published in 1972. Yoder points out early that this book is an ethical ...             Moments with the Savior: A Devotional Life of Christ13 reviews Ken Gire Zondervan, 1998 Moments with the Savior This is one of the best Christian devotional books I have ever read. It is unique in its presentation of events in the life of Christ and the author's spiritual insights certainly draw one closer to God. I gave a copy to my pastor and he recommended it to fellow pastors, as well as friends and family. Gert McIntosh             Tell It Slant: A Conversation on the Language of Jesus in His Stories and Prayers9 reviews Eugene H. Peterson Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2008 TELL IT SLANT is about more than Jesus' use of language TELL IT SLANT. Huh? The phrase is a not-quite-grammatical derivative of the clichéd "tell it straight." It isn't original to author Peterson; it's from a line of poetry by Emily Dickinson: "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant." Peterson sees the idiom as descriptive of Jesus' mode of communication, especially as portrayed in 10 parables that are unique to the Gospel of Luke --- found between ...              search for books according, alternative, american, authentic, centered, childhood, christianity, christless, comprehensive, confrontations, conversation, cultural, devotional, encounter, everything, historical, illustrated, jewishness, language, marginal, meditations, parables, perspective, politics, reference, rethinking, teachings, transform, transforming, understanding books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
