1,000 Days: The Ministry of Christ

1000 days: The Ministry of Christ is a Jonathan Falwell's new devotional book that teaches about Jesus time on this earth. This book presents the final three years of the life of Jesus Christ. The author paints a picture for us detailing how Christ responds to temptation, to victory, to selecting followers, to questions, to suffering, and even to death. Some of the topics covered in this book are:

* Jesus uses simple people to illustrate teachings and to represent him.
* The source of true happiness is only God.
* Jesus focuses on relationships instead of popularity.
* A look at hypocritical followers of Christ.
* Life is not about stuff - less is best.
* How Jesus wants us to live based on his lessons from the cross 



This book is a great introductory study to the life of Christ. While Jonathan does supply some insights from the Greek, this book is not at all difficult to understand and would be good for new believers. 

The Voice New Testament

The Voice is an interesting Bible, it reads like a story. While I don't recommend this Bible for in-depth study it is great for new believers or even devotional reading. The purpose of this Bible was for the New Testament to read as a story and it does just that. The speaker identification and resources throughout the text make this Bible very easy to follow. The language of this Bible is simplistic yet it is this simplicity that aids in the reader being able to fully comprehend the text. Overall, I am very pleased with this Bible and would be happy to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fresh way of reading the same Bible stories.


I received this book through the Booksneeze program and am under no obligation to give a positive review.
