Jesus Himself by Andrew Murray

Jesus_Himself_book_coverThe presence of the Lord Jesus. That is the secret of the Christian's strength and joy.

And what is to make a difference between Christ's disciples-not those who are just hoping to get to heaven, but Christ's whole-hearted disciples-what is to make a difference between them and other people? It is this, to be in fellowship with Jesus-every hour of the day...

Avoiding Being a Dumb Carpenter-Luke 6

goodwalkwayBelow is an excerpt of Jesus's teaching--also known as the sermon on the mount. This is taken from chapter 6 of Luke's gospel, in the Message translation. I've highlighted a few points of Jesus's that you might want to meditate on.

But it's trouble ahead if you think you have it made. What you have is all you'll ever get.

And it's trouble ahead if you're satisfied with yourself. Your self will not satisfy you for long. And it's trouble ahead if you think life's all fun and games. There's suffering to be met, and you're going to meet it.

Foreword: Apprenticeship with Jesus by Dallas Willard

Dallas-WillardWillard talks about the fundamental aspect of our life--following Jesus, the Messiah.

This book makes accessible a new vision of life redeemed-bought back-from the pawn shop run by the world, the flesh, and the devil: redeemed through a living, interactive relationship with Jesus Christ. It is new, however, only in relationship to recent practice, but as old as the people of Christ. The action takes place where redemption must take place, in the ordinary life that everyone must live, no matter what kind of "shows" may be running. The author makes clear how anyone and everyone can "take hold of that life which is life indeed." (2 Tim. 6:19) Starting right where they are, they can begin to do simple things that allow the water of spiritual life in Christ to surge through inner and outer channels parched from living "with no hope and without God in the world." (Eph. 2:12)

An Excerpt from Tea with Hezbollah by Carl Medearis

carl-medearisHi guys. Here's a random quick peak from Tea with Hezbollah that comes out next month:

Ten minutes later we were back on the road, driving in silence. As much is communicated by what isn't said, as by what is. Late into the night we would discuss both. But here our purpose is simply to report what was said and what wasn't, not to offer any opinions or conclusions from the words of the powerful ideologues we interviewed.
