Download or read book Walking with Jesus Through His Word written by Dennis E. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2015-05 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Spurgeon once said that just as every road in England leads to London, so every text in Scripture contains a path to Christ. But there's still a chance of going the wrong way, blazing misleading trails where none previously existed. How can we be sure that we're reading our road map correctly? Dennis Johnson shows us that there are established routes we can trust. Guiding us along the network of trails in the Old and New Testaments, he points to the signs and markers that help us to identify roads to Christ. He surveys the Bible's sweeping story that makes up the lay of the land and explores different landmarks-the central motifs in Scripture that give us our bearings as we seek out Jesus. Our sermons, Bible studies, and personal devotions will be transformed as we navigate Scripture in light of its central purpose: to draw us in faith and love to our Prophet, Priest, and King.

Book excerpt: “An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read.” —Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler’s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history’s most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit. “Smart and savvy, insightful and illuminating.” —Los Angeles Times “An exciting, well-told story informed by Feiler’s boundless intellectual curiosity . . . [and] sense of adventure.” —Miami Herald

Download or read book Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament written by Christopher J. H. Wright and published by Langham Preaching Resources. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. And that story began long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The Gospels tell us clearly that Jesus himself, along with his earliest followers, understood who he was and what he came to do in the light of the story of Israel as told in the pages of the Old Testament. Like them, we too will find that our own understanding of both Jesus and the Old Testament is transformed as we see each in the light of the other. Engaging with the Scriptures, Christopher J. H. Wright uncovers Jesus’ self- understanding as Son of Man and Son of God, following the path and fulfilling the call that God had placed before Israel. Through this we discover that the deeper we go into understanding the Old Testament, the closer we come to the heart of Jesus. In this revised and updated second edition Wright digs deeper into the Old Testament revealing the God whom Jesus embodied. Each chapter is followed with questions and exercises, which can be used either in personal study or in group discussion.

Download or read book My Daily Walk with Jesus written by Bernd Weimer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time, time, time. In this fast moving world of modern, ever changing technology we all struggle with time to do the things we know we need to do. One of those "need to" disciplines is the daily reading of God's Word in a way that is life-changing and mind renewing. When Bernd Weimer told me that he was going to write a book on how to systematically read and study the entire Bible in a year, it was all I could do to keep from saying "Oh no, not another read-the-Bible-in-a-year book." Although I was inwardly skeptical, I encouraged him as he started the project. There were so many books already written from a Bible devotional nature that Bernd's book would have to be very unique to be accepted and widely used. But Bernd has pulled it off. He has developed a method whereby the reader can work his or her way through the Word of God without guilt of failure. This book is more than just a Bible reading plan. When used, this book can become a lifelong journal filled with your impressions from the Lord, special quotes from people that have touched your heart and spirit, and your own personal Bible study notes. To the casual reader, this book will be impressive because of its sheer simplicity, and yet many will be astonished by the book's depth of allowing the reader to make it his or her own life history with the Lord. It is a single, bright sword, cut across three different books in one: a Bible reading guide, a person journal, and a Biblical insight on key passages. Pastor Charles Morris, Founder and Senior Pastor, RSI Ministries
Download or read book Walking With Jesus written by Steven P. Blumer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like the Emmaus disciples walked with Jesus on Easter Sunday afternoon and were amazed at all that he shared with them from the Scriptures, so this book will help you walk with Jesus through the entire Bible. The Bible reading guide will lead you on a two year journey through every book of the Scriptures. Choose your favorite Bible translation, and use the guide questions to help you journey through each day's reading. Many people try to read the Bible from cover to cover, Genesis through Revelation, and get bogged down after about three books into the Old Testament. This Bible reading guide starts with Matthew and the life of Christ, and tries to give you a variety on your Bible journey. The general pattern for this reading guide is a rotation of the five different types of books in the Bible: 1. New Testament history2. New Testament epistles3. Old Testament history4. Old Testament prophecy5. Old Testament poetry Five units of this general pattern will take you through the entire Bible with much less chance of getting bogged down. Each day's suggested reading has at least three questions to ponder and apply God's truths to your life. There are also brief introductions to the various books and extra insights to help you understand difficult passages. Above all, the guide questions are intended to point you to Jesus, no matter what book of the Bible you are reading. When Jesus explained the Scriptures that Easter Sunday afternoon, the New Testament didn't exist yet. He showed how he was the center of the Old Testament as well: "These are the Scriptures that testify about me" he said (John 5:39). The questions and comments in this book will help you see Jesus in every part of the Bible.
