Coached by Jesus: 31 Lifechanging Questions Asked by the Master [Paperback]

Alan Nelson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2010

Recent years have seen the rise of life coaches as a popular approach to personal growth. While a counselor might provide in-depth analysis, a life coach encourages the client to do the practical, productive work of grappling for answers to life's most important questions. No one was more skilled at asking profound questions than Jesus. His questions challenged wrong thinking, penetrated the heart, and provided a catalyst for true change. Alan Nelson, Ed. D. presents thirty-one questions asked by Jesus, amplifies their meaning to clearly connect with the contemporary reader, and offers an application section to translate new thinking into new ways of living. Excellent for personal study as well as small group discussion, it capitalizes on a growing trend embraced by adults of all ages.

Great book for daily meditations and journaling. My husband and I are doing this as part of our Advent journey, "preparing the way." The author clearly learned from our Teacher - the questions Jesus asks are questions for all time - and now we can sit at the feet of our Lord and ponder not just the questions, but how we answer. This book is a true blessing for anyone who wants to take a few minutes to sit with the Lord and let Him ask you what He already knows. This is a very easy read - but it's all in how you answer....sometimes it's not so easy. This is soooooooooo Jesus - He waits and cheers you on through the entire book.

We are using the book for our men's small group. The chapters are short. The content of each chapter hits us right where we live. The guys are really getting into each study.
