You and I have Jesus with us in every circumstance we encounter. She and her husband, a pastor, co-authored the book, When Couples Walk Together: 31 Days to a Closer Connection.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn what Christians believe now and what they have believed since . This is the book for those who want to learn more about the Nicene Creed.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn what Christians believe now and what they have believed since the early Church times. Also, if you want to better understand the Creed which is recited every Sunday in church, this is an excellent read. Luke Timothy Johnson explains the meaning and history behind the words many Christians recite each Sunday. I highly recommend this book for Christians who want a deeper understanding of what they believe and for non-Christians who would like to understand what Christians believe and why.

Luke tells us at the beginning of the book of Acts that Jesus promised his .

Luke tells us at the beginning of the book of Acts that Jesus promised his disciples they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now (Acts 1:5). In the Gospel of John, Jesus also informed them of this plan saying, I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever (John 14:16-26; 15:26; 16:7). When Jesus left, the disciples were sad that their Savior-King had left them. They stood there looking off into heaven, not knowing what to do (Acts 1:10). Why Does Pentecost Matter? Pentecost teaches us that God is sovereign, and he is the one who guides us.

But in fact, it matters sometimes. One only has to think what Jesus or God would do to figure out what is truly gospel and what is manipulation. Whoever wrote the book of 1 Timothy claimed to be Paul. But he was lying about that - he was someone else living after Paul had died. In his book, the author of 1 Timothy used Paul's name and authority to address a problem that he saw in the church. And why does it matter? Because the passage is still used by church leaders today to oppress and silence women. lindee-lou · 2013-06-02T15:08:26Z.

The purpose of this book is to help you personalize the stories in the Gospels. We personalize a Gospel story by entering into its conflict, experiencing its energy and emotion, and letting it absorb us. When we connect with the story at this experiential level, it reveals something of our deepest longings and our ultimate hopes.... Personalizing the stories of the Gospels invites us into the Jesus experience, calls us to a deeper understanding of our identity in God and urges us to live out that identity in our everyday lives. from the IntroductionFlowing out of author Timothy D. Fallon s lifelong spiritual journey, What Jesus Said and Why It Matters Now incorporates insights gained from his experiences in church ministry, the business world and family life as husband, stepparent and grandparent.Fallon uses a wide range of contemporary examples everything from MAD Magazine and Washington Post articles to Saving Private Ryan and Steve Martin s Shopgirl film to help readers experience how God touches us in our own lives.With seven Gospel accounts, What Jesus Said and Why It Matters Now demonstrates a method readers can apply to make each story a vital part of their lives. Fallon says three fundamental questions lie at the heart of personalizing the Gospels: What s the experience of this story? How does this story touch me? How does this story call me to live?

  • It came to me damaged, with a note saying he was sorry he wrote in the book. I had to give as a gift, and lie that the writing in the book was from the author.I didn't have time to return it.

  • Full disclosure: I am a life-time friend of the author, I am acknowledged in the book and I am the subject of three pages of discusion and illustration.

    All that said, I think the book is outstanding. It is painfully and powerfully honest and revealing. The book is not perfectly titled because the author is acutally trying to show us how each of us can personalize the Gospels. He uses the Easter Gospels as his template.

    According to the author the way you personalize the Gospels is to tell your own stories. It is the stories illustrating the author's points that really shine. He illustrates tough concepts with fine stories from friends, families and his own own life. His illustrations from books and other stories worked beautifully. too. The author is remarkably well-read and he uses that skill deftly, never beating the reader over the head with how smart he is, but rather gently helping the reader to understand.

    The writing is very clean. by that I mean direct sentences, precious few compound clauses which send the readers searching for alcohol and a crispness that gets to the point. There were precious few places where I said "tighten this, fool!"

    The author is especially genuine, helpful and admirable when he discusses prayer at several points in the book. That discussion of prayer resonates with the struggle we all feel. The treatment of prayer is one of the real winning attributes of the book.

    My method of reading an inspirational book of any sort involves folding over the bottom corners or pages. Well, the chapter on acknowledging our thirst is a mess. I folded a lot of pages!

    There is some real depth and heft to most of the author's concepts. I think that allows the book to be read on several levels.

    Thoughtful readers will come away from the book challenged, refreshed and more intent on living the path of Christ.
