Bringing you closer

I am really enjoying this book. Jim does such a good job of giving you short and easy glimpses into the life of Jesus that teach us how to become closer to Him. Sometimes being close to Jesus seems impossible and scarry. It seems like something that only Spiritual giants can do. But this book makes that closeness a real possibility for anyone who will start investing just 10 minutes!

Up Close and Personal

10 Minutes a Day with Jesus focuses our daily devotional attention on a rich variety of scriptures that, as the book's subtitle suggests, will surely deepen and expand the reader's love of the Savior. Jim Reapsome helps us to examine Jesus' day-to-day responses to our world's excitements and temptations and to ask what Jesus' responses say about Him and what mean to us today. We are first brought up close to experience, to feel Jesus's living through His thinking and acting; we are then invited to appreciate and personalize our new awareness of our wonderful Savior. The book is so very readable. Each short devotional entry has provided such a truly fresh, insightful look at familiar scripture that I have found myself sharing what I am learning in casual conversatons, now even writing my very first book review!

A Gem to Grow Your Faith!

I am thoroughly enjoying 10 Minutes a Day with Jesus. Each entry is short (2 pages or less), though-provoking and memorable. Plus, it encourages me to read the Bible every day and think about it. This isn't just a devotional. It is not fluffy or wordy, but substantive, with one point that I can remember and think about during the day. Good questions at the end of each day allow me to expand my thinking and apply it to my life. The short prayer at the end sums it up and seals it in my heart. This is perfect for those who are new to thinking about Jesus and want to understand more about him and his impact on our lives. It is also great for those who want to focus on Jesus with fresh eyes. The Invitations & Promises of Jesus at the end of the book are an added bonus! Although I have studied the life of Jesus for a long time, I am gaining much from this book.
