I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again; devotionals are one of my favorite types of books in the whole wide world! So when I got the chance to receive and review this new devotional by R.P. Nettelhorst titled, "A Year With Jesus", I was stoked! It's a 365-day devotional which I also love since that way I get a bite sized surge of encouragement every single day!
Here's an excerpt from Amazon about the book -
Too many times the impact and grandness of the actual words Jesus spoke, as recorded in the Bible, are lost in the telling of the story. In A Year with Jesus, the primary focus is to allow the scriptures that contain Jesus' dialogue to uniquely speak to the reader. The author follows each reading with insights and applications to help explain the context and nuances of the text. The unique titling of each meditation and the nontraditional themes and organization help bring Jesus to our daily lives. Topics include:
- Love and Hate
- Truths and Lies
- Arrogance and Humility
- Friends and Enemies
- Belief and Disbelief
- Patience and Impatience
- Deserved and Undeserved
- Good and Evil
- Fidelity and Treachery
- Life and Death"
The back cover reads, "The Greatest Person Who Ever Lived Wants to Spend Time With You. There's no one like Jesus in all of history. He touched hearts and changed lives everywhere he went in his thirty-three years on earth. Each person who spent time with him was never the same.
Jesus' words and actions, which have spanned the centuries, are just as relevant and important for you today. When you spend time with Jesus, you'll soon discover that what matters to him most of all is you.
A Year With Jesus is an unforgettable 365-day revelation of Jesus' love through his actual words, plus reflections and insights to encourage and inspire you. Let his words comfort you and fill your heart and life. As you connect more deeply with the Greatest Person Who ever lived - this Person Who knows you and cares about every detail of your life - you'll find yourself living and loving with greater peace, promise, and purpose."
WOW. Just WOW. Jesus' words are where it's at, and what it's all about so naturally I'm drawn to books that center on His words, and this book nails it!
I la la LOVE this devotional, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to grow in their relationship and daily walk with Jesus. A very powerful and resourceful book!
