Journey With Jesus [Hardcover]

Do you want your life to be a vigorous, purposeful, and liberated journey? That is exactly what an encounter with Jesus Christ offers. This book presents a way to engage Christ through a detailed yet accessible look at the four major events of his life and provides suggestions about living out the implications of those events on a daily and practical level. Journey with Jesus, Bishop Frank Brookhart's second book, is uniquely accessible and erudite, a pleasure to read, and a tool for teaching.His examination of Jesus' incarnation, baptism, crucifixion, and resurrection transforms the linear view of our life, time, and journey. These events become the four orienting points of a compass rose surrounding and transforming our life, time, and journey. From pew to pulpit to study, this book has transforming relevance. --S. Scott Hunter, Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, Detroit Brookhart's latest volume invites us not only to journey with Jesus but to journey into Jesus. On this journey we are not tourists but attentive pilgrims. This is not a trip to check off of our 'bucket list.' It is a journey to receive the life that Jesus wants to live in us. Frank's life and ministry bear witness to his own commitment to the one who is life. I will gladly avail myself and others of this book as an able tool of Christian formation. --Gregory Vaughn Palmer, Resident Bishop, Ohio West Episcopal Area - The United Methodist Church, West Ohio Conference UMC The Right Rev.
