A must-have!

Wow! This book is compelling. A must-have for those who know that Christianity is all about...Christ. To know more about Christ is to grow in your faith, and that's exactly what Jesus Habits helps the reader do.

What about the ladies?

We read this book as part of a men's small group. It wasn't until we were near the end that someone commented that all of the habits were aimed at men. As a joke we wondered if women couldn't have the Jesus habits... But seriously, this is a pretty easy book. I thought many of his chapters were filled with the Scripture verses written out when really all he needed to do was reference them....If the verses hadn't have been typed out, the book would have been MUCH shorter.

Helpful!

In this work, The Jesus Habits, we find author Jay Dennis laying the foundation for changing our lives in his unveiling of the habits of Jesus Christ. Rev. Dennis looks deeply into the habits of Jesus; things that he practiced daily and incorporated into every thing that he did or said; and the author carefully explains them to you, telling you the benefits of making these your habits as well. If there was any man that we should try to imitate their lifestyle , it certainly would be Jesus. He tells you why they are important to incorporate in your life and even gives you enemies of the habits, which are reasons or circumstances that would stop you from developing them. I have to say, I definitely could relate to some of these enemies and others I was not aware of until my reading. Thankfully now I see where they have hindered me without my realization and I am able to make some needed changes. What a blessing that is and will continue to be. As a Christian I found this work to be extremely helpful and used it to check my own walk with the Lord. There are 31 habits listed and include categories such as; Prayer, Worship, Rest, Thanksgiving and Purpose, to name a few. Each category is clearly developed and you definitely have a complete understanding of their importance in the life of Jesus and in your own life when you complete this read. A book of information, instruction and encouragement; The Jesus Habits is a must have for all believers to enrich their Christian walk. However, I feel this book would benefit not only Christians, but all that would like to become better all around productive people. Recommended for all those who would like to see their lives and this world become a better place. Shirley Johnson Senior Reviewer MidWest Book Review
