The miracles and parables of Jesus make up a good percentage of the Gospels. The importance of understanding these aspects of Jesus’s work cannot be exaggerated.
You may have read a number of books on them and heard many sermons but this book is still worth reading. They are accessible to adults and teenagers who are used to Bible teaching. Most of the chapters are about seven pages in total with a few helpful questions at the end of each chapter. These books could be read at family devotions. They could be used by Sunday school teachers and youth group leaders in preparation.
Original gems
The two books are clear and straightforward in helping us to see profound truths recorded in the Gospels. Gems of original thought and quotations from old and new authors are scattered throughout. Clear headings give them a sermonic style and they read seamlessly.
They speak loud and clear about the person and work of Christ, sticking directly to the text. God’s good news shines out from chapter after chapter, elevating the soul to praise and thank God for his son. Sin is explained, clearly pointing us to our need of God’s sufficient grace. There are repeated warnings to turn to Christ. These stir the heart to be more fervent in our evangelism. There are solemn warnings throughout that had their desired effect upon this reader, spurring me to pray fervently for the lost.
Day One already has a formidable reputation as a publishing company and Roger Ellsworth as a minister of the gospel. These two books only enhance their reputations as trustworthy guides to understanding the glorious King of Kings, Jesus Christ.
