Jo Ann's opinion 3

This is a must read book. Morris takes the words writers of the gospels tell us are the words of Jesus and relates current experiences, knowledge, etc. and wisdom of these words. The words are not just for historical reading and study but they create a wisdom for us to incorporate into our daily living and acting. Grace is a gift from God. As we partner with God and invite The Holy Spirit to help us, we can be the givers of this same grace to others. Morris suggests that "What does God desires?" be the watch words we consider before we act on anything or any situation, good advice. This is a must read for this time in history and for the future.
