Jesus Journey: 40 Days in the Footsteps of Christ
In this wonderfully creative book, Rene Schlaepfer has once again done what he does best. He has built a bridge from the ancient world in which the biblical drama unfolded to the issues of contemporary life. As you make your way through the book it soon becomes evident that your author-tour guide is a masterful storyteller, which will remind you of the gifts of a first century rabbi named Jesus.--Rev. Dr. M. Craig Barnes, pastor of Shadyside Presbyterian and author of When God Interrupts, Sacred Thirst, Searching For Home, and The Pastor as Minor PoetAs cliche as this may sound, when you journey into the Holy Land, reading your Bible truly does move from 2-D to 3-D. What a privilege we have getting to experience some 3-D of the land where Jesus walked as Rene brings us right into the world where Jesus lived. Without understanding the world that Jesus lived in, you won't fully understand all of Jesus' words and teachings.I had the joy of living in Israel for several months and revisiting it since, and Rene does an amazing job of bringing the land where Jesus walked into our living room--and not just into our homes, but into our hearts and lives. I am very grateful Rene wrote this and so thankful as I think of the incredible impact it will have on readers as they journey into the land and teachings of Jesus.--Dan Kimball, Rene Schlaepfer fan, teaching and mission leader at Vintage Faith Church, and author of They Like Jesus But Not The ChurchIf you've always wanted to visit Israel to walk where Christ walked and to see where he ministered, here is your opportunity--and you don't have to leave home to do it. Rene Schlaepfer takes readers on just such a trip in Jesus Journey. He blends insightful commentary, biblical accuracy, and touches of humor from his own journeys to Israel that make this book a spiritual adventure you will enjoy taking again and again. Don't miss it!--Karen O'Connor, speaker and author of Squeeze The Moment, Basket of Blessings, and many moreAs cliche as this may sound, when you journey into the Holy Land, reading your Bible truly does move from 2-D to 3-D.
