This review is from: Praying with Jesus: A Year of Daily Prayers and Reflections on the Words and Actions of Jesus (Paperback)
Praying with Jesus: A Year of Daily Prayers and Reflections on the Words and Actions of Jesus
This book is excellent. In a short time Eugene Peterson helps one focus on the word giving insight to a passage of the New Testament, making connections to prior and upcoming events, and then of challenges us to critically think about the messages in the bible with a question. Each daily lesson ends with a prayer. There is a mini-bible study lesson every day of the year and coded as such; for example today's date is December 8th so I would just turn to that page. It is great for people on the go. You can leave it by your bedside and get so much out of the daily lesson(s) with just a few minutes of your time

I feel sharing the Jesus' heart and mind with Him...,

This review is from: Praying with Jesus: A Year of Daily Prayers and Reflections on the Words and Actions of Jesus (Paperback)
I feel sharing the Jesus' heart and mind with Him...Everyday, through the help of this book. When I read the Bible, I focused on the event,theme, or things to be learned. But reading Peterson's book, "Praying with Jesus:A Year of Daily Prayers and Reflections on the Words and Actions of Jesus", I feel Jesus to near me than I think, and experienced. Why don't you try to pray with Jesus...? Soon I will get one more book for giving my friend... (I will say thanks to Eugene Peterson.)
