MEET JESUS.
A man both fully God and fully human, A man who came to earth to accomplish and incredible and life-saving mission. A man who intentionally lived most of his life in private but only three precious years in public ministry. A man who did nothing by accident, living fully in light of the will of the Father.
What truths do these precious days entail for our lives today? What does He want us to learn from these moments? It's time we take a deeper look at both His mission and His ministry, these 1,000 days before the ascension.
In this book, Jonathan Falwell introduces the concept of "the happiness of less" as one of the keys to obtaining true peace from life. From trials and tribulations to radical love, from hypocrisy and temptation to prayer, 1,000 Days offers rich insight into what Jesus has to say about life as we know it.
Rediscover the life of Jesus, and along the way you might just discover the life you were meant to live.
I really enjoyed this book. Some may think it too simplistic but that is its appeal.
In each chapter, Falwell uses easy to understand examples and shows Jesus perspective using scripture. At the end of each chapter, Falwell has questions for individual reflection or small group discussions. I recommend, before going to the next chapter, to further study the current chapter using the back of the book, which contains a Bible Study Guide with Leader Helps and the 100 main events in Jesus life.
Falwell's book is progressive, each chapter building off the last. You start out with the topic of Restless Hearts Meet the Peace of Jesus, going to Listening to God's Word, moving forward to An Invitation to Follow and then Life in Jesus' Kingdom. Once there, Falwell starts going a little deeper into the topics of discipleship, loving your neighbor, hypocrisy, heaven and hell, temptation, worship and more.
Should you buy the book? Absolutely, especially if you are a new Christian.
