Review

Incredible Moments with the Savior takes you on a devotional journey that begins at a festive wedding in Cana, where Jesus worked his first miracle. That journey ends in the torch-lit Garden of Gethsemane, where he performed his last.

Along the way, you will catch fleeting glimpses of what the saints of old longed to see—the glory of the promised Messiah.

You will see this glory poured out not upon prophets or priest or Pharisees, but rather upon the most unlikely of recipients—the burdened, the bewildered, and the bereaved.

You will see these weary and heavy-laden people fall at Jesus’ feet. And you will see him stoop to gently uncinch the heavy loads that life has strapped on their backs.

As you walk past these tender moments of mercy, you will step lightly, reverently . . . for they are sacred ground.

There you will see the veil of heaven lifted. There you will see the glory of God revealed. And there you will take off your shoes . . . fall on your knees . . . and worship a truly incredible Savior.

Incredible Moments with the Savior is the second of four devotional books in Ken Gire’s award-winning series on the life of Christ.

The first book, Intimate Moments with the Savior, focuses on how those people closest to Jesus responded to his love and attention.

The third book, Instructive Moments with the Savior, looks at the parables of Jesus and the influence they had upon their hearers.

The fourth and last book, Intense Moments with the Savior, takes you inside the mind and heart of Jesus himself.The complete four-volume Moments with the Savior series has been compiled in the book Moments with the Savior, together with fresh devotional writings by Ken Gire -- Publisher

This review is from: Incredible Moments with the Savior (Paperback)

This is another of Gire's books that is inspiring and challenging! It encourages you to get out of your rut of drudgery and seek the God of our faith. Gire challenges us to open our eyes and take time to see God nearer and clearer and spend quality time with Him. I am a retreat speaker and found the information to be helpful with planning retreats and helping others to find their walk with the Lord fulfilling and deepening

I have found "Incredible Moments with the Savior" to be just that. This is my 4th time through the "old" stories that Mr. Gire has added new life to. The reader is able to capture some of the story behind the story of those living with Jesus and how He affected their lives.
