Consider JesusDaily Reflections on the Book of Hebrews by Donald R. Jacobs |
 |
"The reflections are refreshingly illuminating and candidly personal, clear evidence of joyful devotion to Jesus and deep familiarity with the book of Hebrews. No devotional book that I know is more likely to fix its readers' eyes on Jesus, the perfecter of our faith. The book will serve as an ideal complement to family or personal devotions." - Jonathan J. Bonk, Executive Director, Overseas Ministries Study Center
Just when we think we have discovered all there is to know about Jesus, another world of God's grace often opens to us and we see things differently. God invites us to consider Jesus again, and again. Each change of need or circumstance in our lives is a new opportunity for Jesus to reveal himself in all his available fullness.
Donald R. Jacobs holds up the book of Hebrews like a mirror and shares daily reflections on how he lets Jesus speak in and through his life. Don's meditations, one for each day of the year, glimpse the way to the peace, power, hope, and healing of Jesus as he is revealed in this challenging and enigmatic New Testament book. Don urges readers to Consider Jesus as the key to all of life.
"These practical and personal daily living illustrations arise from Don's wide experiences. The meditations cut across many cultures in Africa and elsewhere. This work is the best of Don's written contributions to the evangelical world. Praise the Lord for this in-depth study and good textual preaching." - John G. Gatu, Past Moderator, Presbyterian Church of East Africa
