Publisher Description
There is a universal restlessness today among believers, young and old—unease, unhappiness, and unrest that exists in our pursuit of happiness.
Unarguably we find the answer in the life and salvation of Jesus Christ. Undeniably the miracles of His virgin birth, death on the cross, and resurrection from the grave hold the key to eternal life and ultimate joy. But what if in addition to these awaited a miracle revealed in Jesus' three years of public ministry, the roughly 1,000 days that followed His life of otherwise relative obscurity—the 1,000 days that were intentionally lived and documented?
In 1,000 Days Jonathan Falwell presents the unique chance to study this miracle, looking closely at those last three years in Jesus' life and revealing vital information form the gospels for our lives today. Meet Jesus like never before when you take a second (or maybe third or fourth) look at what He said in those 1,000 days. Each chapter also includes a special Bible study for use either by individuals or small groups.
Find rest in His invitation to make His mission your mission. Discover, as Falwell has, that a picture of the life of Jesus is worth a thousand days.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Falwell, successor to his father, the late influential Christian pastor Jerry Falwell, at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., makes his publishing debut in this book, which he asserts gives readers the opportunity to "meet Jesus Christ as never before," a bold claim for a novice author that readers may find arguable. Falwell maps out various integral moments of the "1,000 days" of Jesus' ministry and interprets for readers how their lives on earth can become similarly transformative. He challenges readers to be "real with God," asking, for example, if, while we are singing at church, our hearts are "in it." The strongest challenge of the book occurs when the author asks, "When Jesus looks at me does he see a modern-day Pharisee?" The challenges and questions are porous enough to allow for any number of ways the reader can follow Jesus' 1,000 days with a thousand of their own, while not looking like him at all.
