Just Give Me Jesus [Hardcover]

Anne Graham Lotz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 11, 2000

After two pressure-filled, life-changing years of professional exhaustion and personal turmoil, Anne Graham Lotz found herself with only one heart-cry, "Please, just give me Jesus." In this faith-inspiring book, she stares intently at the realities of life with her Savior. To those needing a fresh start, to those still searching for happiness, to those in need of forgiveness, to the suffering and the self-righteous alike, Jesus was, is, and will always be the answer.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Lotz treats issues ranging from hell to suffering, marriage(including some of her own struggles) to life-threatening illness (including her son's recent diagnosis with cancer). Still, some of Lotz's heart-warming stories are decidedly warmed-over (haven't we heard enough yet about World War II evangelical hero Corrie Ten Boom?). There is very little in this book that hasn't been said many, many times before--even some of the personal anecdotes have a curiously familiar ring to those versed in the stock stories of evangelical preaching.

Lotz is in some ways a thoroughly modern woman, so even as conventional a book as this makes for an interesting comparison to its devotional predecessors of a previous generation. Not only is Lotz pursuing a traditionally male career by preaching and running a growing para-church ministry; her life, and the lives of her assumed readers, betrays a busy sophistication that would have been puzzling to a generation of less "worldly" evangelicals.

5.0 out of 5 stars When the Wine Runs Out, June 15, 2000

By 

Joana T. Jones - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Give Me Jesus (Hardcover)

Among the many excellent analogies Mrs. Lotz draws from John's Gospel, I especially appreciated the life lessons drawn from Christ's first miracle -- turning water into wine at a marriage feast. Just as the wine at that feast disappeared glass by glass, so does love and zest for living quietly slip away in our own lives. Jesus Christ continues to work miracles in our day when we ask him to replace the "wine" in our own lives and refill us with joy and love. Mrs. Lotz is a master as seeing these valuable "life lessons" in every chapter of the book of John, on which her latest book, "Just Give Me Jesus," was based.

By 

William L Whitmer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Give Me Jesus (Hardcover)

This is a great book for Christians and non-Christians! I finished it and immediately started it again. Ms. Lotz uses the Gospel of John to help us gain insights about Jesus. The book really convicted me to establish a daily time of prayer, study and meditation with Jesus. It is clear Ms. Lotz is a very gifted Bible teacher! God Bless Her

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Spiritual Feast!!!!!, September 8, 2000

By 

Laurie Breeckner (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just Give Me Jesus (Hardcover)

Through her gift of teaching, Anne Graham Lotz has helped me know the Lord Jesus Christ in a deeper way.

Her book, Just Give Me Jesus, helps to understand the writings of the Gospel of John. I did not want the book to end, however when it did end, I read John's Gospel with newly opened eyes. This book was an absolute spiritual feast which was happily devoured by this hungry christian.

This book is highly recommended and I look forward to other writings from Anne.
