If you could only afford to buy one book this year...

This book is outstanding. I met Miller at a conference in Florida and was inspired to buy his book, and I'm glad I did. This book can be used by individuals, small groups, or by entire communities. Miller masters the art of contemplative Bible study and reflection, providing well-crafted words which guide the reader into a much deeper relationship with Jesus through the stories of Mark's Gospel. I've used this with confirmation students doing a guided meditation, with worship communities, with groups of youth at retreats where I've been the keynote speaker, and for my own devotional life. I feel very strongly about this book and I would say that if you could only afford to buy one book this year, make it Miller's Friendship With Jesus. I wish Miller would repeat his star effort with the other Gospels!

Friendship with Jesus

WOW what a wonderful way to experience the living God! I was very taken with the way this writer can make you release the everyday world and go to a place where you are walking with Jesus. It is easy to say what you would do in the situations from the writings of Mark....but when placed in the actual scene that was taking place in the life of Jesus, it is far harder to say you would have been one of his faithful followers!
