Greg Laurie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 25, 2003

Greg Laurie brings us along on a walk with Jesus and his disciples, encouraging us to see him through the eyes of his disciples in order to know him better, challenging us firsthand with the main spiritual lessons Jesus entrusted to his followers, and inspiring us with the many promises that the Savior gave to those who choose to follow him. As we walk with Jesus, hopefully we, too, will come to see Jesus as his disciples did: as a living, breathing, ever-present friend, mentor, and teacher.

Over the years I have read and studied the Bible. however it wasn't until I read Breakfast with Jesus" that I got true insight into passages I had read over and over, Mr Laurie makes so many of the stories and passages easy to understand.
