Just Wondering, Jesus: 100 Questions People Want To Ask [Paperback]

Thomas L. Ehrich (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2005

What are the questions that are really on the minds of Christians as they try to live out their faith? Author Tom Ehrich challenged readers of his weekly newspaper column and his daily e-mail meditations to pose the questions that they would like to ask Jesus "from the roadside," as blind Bartimaeus did in the gospel. He received hundreds of responses-- not one of them about matters of liturgy, church politics, or canon law. Instead, the questions these ordinary Christians longed to ask Jesus were deeper and more basic: Will I see my late husband in heaven? How can I make my marriage more joyful? Will we ever find peace? What do you want of me? In Just Wondering, Jesus, Ehrich takes 100 of these questions and answers each in the form of a brief meditation/essay, and provides a fascinating glimpse of what is truly on people's minds and in their hearts. The meditations, based on gospel readings, are valuable for personal devotion and small-group study.

This review is from: Just Wondering, Jesus: 100 Questions People Want To Ask (Paperback)

You'll find Ehrich's writing style and premis to be very readable. He speaks to your heart and does it in a coversational, well thought out, humble tone. The questions that people have for God are answered by Ehrich with his understanding of what Jesus might say. Ehrich is not afraid to think about a question from several perspectives and many of his answers are both insightful and unconventional. The book is written in a crisp style with a page or two for each question and answer. I often read these aloud to my wife as we read in bed.

This is a book that I've ordered extra copies of and shared with friends and family. It's a great read for believers, non-believers and seekers alike.
