In The Footsteps Of Jesus

Featuring the latest archaeological and historical discoveries, this guide illustrates the people and events that shaped the life of Jesus, from his birth in Bethlehem to his death in Jerusalem.

This publication offers a guide for reading Sunday Gospels and meditating Homilies every week for the Liturgical Cycle C. A close familiarity with the words of the Gospels brings us into consonance with Jesus, inspires in us his love for the world, builds up enthusiasm for his project of the Kingdom of God, and infuses his Spirit in us. Without our scarcely noticing it, we become Christians. This personal meditation on the words of Jesus transforms us more than all the explanations, sermons, and exhortations which reach us from the outside. People change from within.

How can we find the way? Since the world began people have always looked for a way out of their problems - often without success. Many have claimed they have the 'solution' to all life's problems and promise to bring hapiness and meaning to life. However, when confronted with this very same questions, the Lord Jesus answered firmly, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life". "In The Footsteps of Jesus" is an easy-to-read book that will not only help people find their way out of their problems, but also teach them how to get the most out of life. And most importantly, how to live forever.

The purpose of How To Walk In The Footsteps Of Jesus And The Prophets is to enable the reader to look up a Biblical site quickly in its alphabetical form, read the Biblical references, and travel to the site from most major cities in Israel and Jordan. Book jacket.

The only reliable account of the life of Jesus, the Son of God, is the four gospels in the Bible. Whilst there are numerous authenticating secular letters, it is primarily the gospel accounts that present the greatest story of all time, the life and ultimate death of Jesus. Jesus lived for just thirty-three years and travelled no more than a couple of hundred kilometres in any direction. He lived at the time of seemingly ultimate power, that of the Roman Emperors, yet He discussed politics only once, when the issue of taxation was used to try and trap him. He penned no letters and left no monuments, yet His life and death changed the entire world through the redemptive power of the cross. All of this is told in the rich fabric of the gospels. It is a story unparalleled in the history of the world, a story that brings the author and perfector of our faith to life. A story of Jesus who fulfilled every requirement of the law and the Old Covenant, and ushered in the New Covenant of Grace; of unmerited, undeserved, unfathomable favour upon the lives of all who believe. It is a story of Jesus, whose life and death made us completely righteous, not because of anything we did, but because of everything He did. It is a story of love so divine and of grace so deep that it deserves to be told in many different ways, as the gospels do so beautifully. The gospels are not a chronological story of the life and times of Jesus though. They are four unique but complimentary accounts, written by different men to different audiences and contain different and similar stories of the life of Jesus. Whilst there are thousands of books on the gospels and each has been a blessing, there is space for yet one more book to build on this certainty. A harmonised chronologically presented gospel account of Jesus set in the geography, politics, people, power, culture and history of the day so the reader can walk with Jesus over his thirty three years as he crawled, walked and died on earth. This book is not meant as a commentary or an academic treatise, merely an opportunity to read every word of the four gospels woven into the time and setting of the historical truth of the Saviour of the world

Travel with Adam Hamilton as he retraces the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Once again, Hamilton approaches his subject matter with thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus' crucifixion in 24 Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus' birth in The Journey. Read The Way on your own or, for a more in-depth study, enjoy it with a small group or part of a 40-day church-wide emphasis during Lent and Easter or anytime of the year. Using historical information, archaeological data, and stories of the faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of Jesus from his baptism to the temptations to the heart of his ministry, including the people he loved, the parables he taught, the enemies he made, and the healing he brought. This 40-day focus will help you and your group grow deeper in their faith, learn more about the life of Christ, spend time daily reading and reflecting upon the Scriptures, and invite families, through the children's and youth studies, to grow together in their faith. Additional resources include a DVD, devotional, youth and children editions, and a worship download to help with sermon planning.
