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.

Product Description

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.

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

By	Joana T. Jones (Indiana) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover Who Jesus Really Is !, June 17, 2000

By	William L Whitmer (Alabama) - See all my reviews

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 WOW!!!!!, January 17, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is fantastic! I have a very deep relationship with Christ and even so, this book brought me deeper! Mrs. Graham Lotz has a profound gift for bringing Jesus to your life through John's Gospel. I felt like I was there with Jesus during His earthly ministry. She brings the human side of Jesus alive on the pages.....it is just a fantastic book! I highly recommend it for fellow Christians to get a fresh look at our Savior, AND for those who are not believers, this book is it!
