Böcker av Linda Bridges

The Church's Portraits of Jesus adds another voice to the ever-growing discussion about Jesus in recent media and scholarly conversations. While showing the unique portraits of Jesus offered by the four gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-the book also establishes an approach to understanding the communities who shaped the portraits. As contemporary Christians explore their portraits of Jesus, Bridges provides excellent questions and guidance. This book is perfect for church, college and seminary classrooms that focus on the reading of the gospel narratives, theology, or interpretation approached. The Church's Portraits of Jesus is also an ideal book for Sunday School groups looking for study books or other small groups within the church.

Had a bad day. No one listening. On your last leg. Identity stolen and do not know who you are supposed to be. Just plain tired. Welcome to this little girl day. Good things someone took time to enlighten her on simple things in the Bible. Here is Danielle's world. How worse could this day get? Or how good can it become? When in need of a miracle. It can be just a nap away. Slow down, relax, and LISTEN! Most of the time we get up in the morning expecting a repeat of the day. Children are caught in a cycle that adults have set their day. They can do little to change that just hold on for the ride to completion. God can reboot us. Yes, He renew us with one gesture of his presence, and we become complete. We are whole again in his Love. He constantly reassures us there are good things in store for us. Jeremiah 29:11- 14 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; God is good.
