Release Date: 2001
Curious about the historical Jesus? Read this book. Find out what the best scholars say about him in language anyone can understand. This book tells about Jesus from Nazareth, the human person, whom Christianity proclaims to be fully human, as human as you are. Jesus was born and grew up as a Jew. He lived in the Holy Land, which was ruled by the Roman Empire. He became a disciple of John the Baptist. After John died, Jesus returned to Galilee but not to his family, who thought him crazy. He walked the Galilean hills, met all kinds of people, ate with them, and argued with them. As he traveled, he told people about God's presence in their lives every day, as they kneaded bread, planted vineyards, went to court, sought healing, and prayed. This book helps you understand Jesus as a man: what he taught, how he lived, and why he was crucified. It discusses his resurrection all the biblical depictions. It describes his ascension as the New Testament tells it and as we must understand it in the universe that we inhabit. It also suggests why his life-style and message matter to you now, and what you can do to become more like him. It will help you answer the question we so often ask, What would Jesus do? It offers options for living in the secular world. It discusses possible choices of church. This book is about Jesus, and why he matters to you today.
One Thousand Gifts
More than 1.5 million copies sold! What if you discovered that the life you already have is the life you've always wanted? What if joy and gratefulness is possible right where you are??New York Times?bestselling author Ann Voskamp invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative journey of thankfulness and chronicling God's gifts. How can you find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and even the death of loved ones? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long, and sometimes even dark? How is God even here? “It is in the dark that God is passing by . . . our lives shake not because God has abandoned but the exact opposite. God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can’t see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us...” In One Thousand Gifts, Ann Voskamp invites you to discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to ordinary amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of becoming present to God that brings deep and lasting joy. It's only in the expression of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we've always wanted . . . a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. Come to feel and know the impossible right down in your bones: you are wildly loved by God. As Ann invites you into her own beautiful, heart-aching moments of amazing grace, she gently teaches you how to: Biblically lament loss and turn pain into poetry Intentionally embrace a lifestyle of radical gratitude Slow down and catch God in the moment Not a book merely to read, One Thousand Gifts is an invitation to engage with truths that will serve up the depths of God’s joy and transform your life forever. Leave pride, fear, and control behind, and abandon yourself to the God who overflows your cup.
