Although people
think of Jesus in the New Testament, he is also found in the books of
Isiah, Psalms and the Song of Solomon. He can also be found in our
lives in some surprising ways. The book uses both of these sources to
craft a readable Bible study.
The book is divided
into three sections: The Books of Moses, The Psalms, and the
Prophets. Each section has several chapters. Each chapter is divided
into a discussion by the author which includes insights from the
Bible as well as personal stories from her life and others. After the
discussion the author provides five days of Bible study and
questions. These can be used either as individual study, or in a
group setting. In addition there a notes for a facilitator, if used
in a group setting, and videos that can be accessed on her website.
The book is aimed
primarily at women, but the author doesn’t discount that some men
may use the book. Indeed some of her stories are about men finding
Jesus. I found that book very readable. The questions and Bible study
take up a major portion of the text, but it’s well worth the effort
to use them for a deeper look into the ideas the author is exploring.
I received this book
from Waterbrook Multnomah for this review.
