GoodBookStall Review:
As the title indicates this book is Jesus centred. It is carefully structured and each section has the same form. First there is a personal story told by someone the author has encountered in his ministry, then a relevant passage from the Bible of what Jesus in similar circumstances said and did. This is followed by a long meditation in the first person exploring the content of the story and scripture, and at the end there are ideas for reflection with questions for the reader. There is a CD accompanying the book with several of the meditations read by the actor Martin Sheen. The book would be very useful for groups as it includes ideas for discussion and opening and closing prayers.
