In the Words of Jesus

     BOOK REVIEW:   No individual has had a greater impact on human history than Jesus Christ. In just three short years, this humble carpenter challenged, enlightened, and transformed those around Him with words of wisdom, grace, truth, hope, and love. And through His words and actions, He provided indisputable evidence that God always had been and always will be among us.
     In the Words of Jesus distills Jesus' most profound teachings from the four Gospels and reflects on what His message meant---not only during His brief ministry on earth, but also for us today.

     MY REVIEW:  This is a small, leather book. It looks like a Bible in many ways. The idea is a good one. The book is divided into chapters and divisions about different qualities and teachings of Jesus. For the content itself, a verse or section is quoted, then a short reflection given. I did not read through the whole book, but it seems simple and easy to follow. I do however have a few faults with it. The pages are too thin for the ink used. You can see words from the back of the page on the front you are reading. And it uses the New Living Translation. I have nothing against that translation, I simply prefer the King James. This would have been a good thing to have mentioned on the back cover, in my opinion.
