Searching For Jesus

How would you describe your spiritual life? Do you want to learn more about Jesus?If these questions resonate with you, then this devotional book, Searching For Jesus, will energize your efforts. Rev. J.W. Gregg Meister takes you on a lively journey through the Old and New Testaments, uncovering historical facts and spiritual signposts on your way to a greater understanding of Jesus. In doing so, Meister brings a large cast of biblical characters to vibrant three-dimensional life. You will re-encounter figures like Goliath and Samson, whom you already know; others like Zacchaeus, whom you probably haven't spent much time thinking about; and still others like Asaph, whom you likely have skipped over. Looking at them from a fresh perspective will encourage you as you face the challenge of living your life of faith today.

With conversational prose and contemporary metaphors, Meister draws from fields as diverse as history, archaeology, biblical linguistics, and science to open the Bible's sometimes-hidden spiritual truths. You are then inspired to apply these truths to your current situation.

Every chapter invites you to examine your own devotional practices. A separate Discussion Questions section makes this a useful book for senior high, college, and adult education groups.

The 16 chapters of Searching For Jesus are arranged in the order that their key Bible passages appear in the Scriptures. Several chapters are especially pertinent to special days- such as Memorial Day, Good Friday, and Easter-making this book especially useful for worship leaders. The chapters all stand alone, however, and may be read in any order in every season of the year.

Read it today and you will know more about Jesus by tomorrow.
