What Would Jesus Do?

You’re lost in the night, stumbling over everything, unable to find a path. At last you notice a light in the middle of all that darkness. Suddenly you aren’t alone any more. All you have to do is keep moving toward the light. I am the light of the world. If you are searching, recognizing that there is something else, and whatever it is just won’t come into focus, then this book is written for you.This searching is a solitary task, but others are available to provide guidance, and offer the stories of their own search. We all start the journey alone and we all must finish it alone, but we shouldn’t fail to accept the help that is offered along the way.I am the light of the world. I am the way, the truth and the life. What can we learn from the one who said these words?God has certainly been engaged with the world over the past two thousand years. People have realized relationships with God in spite of the pressures that the world brings to bear. God has remained faithful and in communion with the world, though many people assume that God stopped speaking to people thousands of years ago. It isn’t even reasonable to think that God talked with, guided and protected his people for millennia and then suddenly stopped when the Revelations of St. John were committed to paper.Have you heard from God lately? How do you know? Join me for an exploration of faith and what it means to live in God’s kingdom. Learn how you can be the light of the worldM. Meier Sometimes a book achieves respect and fame while being inaccessible to the average reader. The Bible may be such a book for many people. It was written by average people who had experienced something indescribable. Just as today those who experience God and feel compelled to communicate their experience to others, the authors of the Bible found that language failed them.They resorted to poetry, metaphor and word pictures to try to communicate what they knew. Further, they were communicating with the people they knew and who were living essentially the same life they were. All of this makes it hard for today’s reader to feel what they felt, experience what they experienced.This Handbook presents the essential message of the Bible in a framework that today’s reader can be comfortable in. The experience of God still requires metaphor and word pictures but these are couched in a modern framework. The Handbook will save you time as you walk toward your own re-union with God.
