Reseña del libro "In Awe and Wonder . . .: A Closer Look at Those Who Touched the Life of the Young Messiah (en Inglés)"
THIS YEAR, ALLOW THE CHRISTMAS STORY TO CHANGE YOU INTO A REFLECTION OF THE ONE WE CELEBRATE! We hear the story, see the performances, and read the sentiments on the cards year after year; Jesus was born in Bethlehem to a virgin mother and placed in a lowly manger because there was no room for them in the Inn. But do we ever stop to consider what life changing lessons we can glean from the details of the Christmas story, or have we always been so caught up in the busyness of the season that we have neglected to ponder or acknowledge the true reason for His birth? Join me as we delve into some of the minuscule, often overlooked details that surrounded the birth of our Lord and Savior, and be encouraged to apply the wonder of the story to your daily life. This year, let's do more than go through the motions of this sacred holiday, as we pause, reflect, and allow the Christmas story to change our lives so that we may be a reflection the One whom we celebrate. "These reflections on the advent of Jesus Christ is an honest, deeply personal and insightful help to integrate scriptural study into daily living. The author transports the reader back into the ancient events, generating questions about how we live now in light of those events." - Jim P While studying those who were a part of the early life of the Jesus, I began to wonder: What if we were as faithful to Him as these men and women? What would happen if we were as dedicated to serving our Lord in such a way, as did they? What kind of impact could we have on our world if we truly committed to the King? What lessons can we learn from their lives that will help us walk closer to the Lord? While there are many obvious lessons to be learned from the great men and women of the Word, we often miss some important teachings when we don't take the time to consider the small details of the lives of those portrayed. By looking at the diminutive facts in the lives of some of the greats, and by studying those who played seemingly insignificant roles, we can learn many valuable lessons, which, when applied to our lives, will equip us to better serve the Lord. "I have read this book several times and I keep getting new revelations from it. It makes you look at the stories from the Bible that we are so familiar with in a whole new way; from a whole new perspective. It will change the way you think about the stories surrounding the early life of Christ and what it means to our lives today." - Barbara F "This book generates a hunger to live closer to God. It challenges believers to search within and remove the obstacles that keep us from seeking the Messiah." - Paula P
