A Year with Jesus Daily Readings and Reflections On Jesus' Own Words 

By R.P. Nettelhorst

Book Description

Too many times the impact and grandness of the actual words Jesus spoke, as recorded in the Bible, are lost in the telling of the story. In A Year with Jesus, the primary focus is to allow the scriptures that contain Jesus' dialogue to uniquely speak to the reader. The author follows each reading with insights and applications to help explain the context and nuances of the text. The unique titling of each meditation and the nontraditional themes and organization help bring Jesus to our daily lives. Topics include:

Love and Hate
Truths and Lies
Arrogance and Humility
Friends and Enemies
Belief and Disbelief
Patience and Impatience
Deserved and Undeserved
Good and Evil
Fidelity and Treachery
Life and Death

I really like the setup of this book. It is broken into days by ordinal (1,2,3,4,etc) rather than a calendar. That's great to be able to start at any time in the year. And if you miss a day  or two the book doesn't make you feel bad. Just pick up where you left off. Secondly, the author let's Jesus do the teaching, love that!!! Each day's devotion is only one page long. So it is short and to the point. Easy to read!!! Pleasingly, scripture is the majority of the page.
