Red Letters: Fresh Reflections on the Words of Jesus - Softcover

Jesus had quite a way with words. A man on a journey, a shepherd with his flock, a woman sweeping a floor-each of these characters took on new meaning as Jesus spoke of them. Whether he was sharing colorful stories, asking pointed questions, or serving up short sayings rich with insight and understanding, people from all over would flock to his side to hear him speak. Even today people find encouragement, hope, and faith in Jesus' enduring, memorable words. Red Letters is an inventive twist on studying the Bible; it's a devotional with a difference. With more than 50 sections covering nearly 150 of Jesus' sayings, the authors make the narratives and characters come alive. Questions, ideas for meaningful reflection, and dozens of interactive sidebars will help you hear these words again and in a whole new way. Whether you read this book daily, two or three times a week, or even once a week with a small group, you're sure to gain a new appreciation, a new friend, and perhaps a new Lord. William J.
