Spiritual Practices of Jesus: Learning Simplicity, Humility, and Prayer with Luke's Earliest ReadersLuke's Gospel was written to transform. In its original context, readers would have seen a portrait of Jesus as an ideal teacher and king, able to shape his people through exemplary leadership. They would have come to the Gospel expecting to be changed for God's purposes through the imitation of Jesus' lifestyle and adoption of his teaching.

Luke's Gospel was written to transform. In its original context, readers would have seen a portrait of Jesus as an ideal teacher and king, able to shape his people through exemplary leadership. They would have come to the Gospel expecting to be changed for God's purposes through the imitation of Jesus' lifestyle and adoption of his teaching. When today's readers approach the text in the same way, they can be transformed too. Spiritual Practices of Jesus explores Luke's portrait of the spirituality of Jesus, focusing on the themes of simplicity, humility, and prayer in his life and teaching. After establishing the likely thought patterns of Luke's first readers, Catherine Wright considers how Jesus models these three values and then explores how different readers have understood and employed key Lukan passages for spiritual formation, beginning with a first-century audience and tracing the reception of these texts in the ancient church. Demonstrating a theological interpretation of Jesus' spirituality grounded in church tradition, this accessible book combines New Testament studies and spiritual formation to provide fresh insight into the biblical text. Wright invites readers to join with Luke's earliest readers in adopting ancient spiritual practices that still hold the potential to revolutionize our relationships with money, ourselves, others, and God. Luke's Gospel reveals that as we individually and corporately imitate Jesus, we live lives of greater authenticity, are oriented toward his kingdom, and are transformed by his manner of life.Binding Type: Paperback

good story and decent writing
Format: Kindle
Many books in this genre suffer from either lack of editing or incomplete development. This is my first book from this author and i was pleasantly surprised. If it was another genre (non lesbian) i might give it a 4 but for this genre it’s definitely a 5. Looking forward to checking out more from this author.

A Time Piece
Format: Paperback
Another wonderful book by Clare Lydon. She never disappoints. The dynamics between Poppy & Eliza are on a collision course throughout the book; even though they become romantically involved, the reader is just waiting for the shoe to drop. Through three-quarters of the book, it hits the fan. A secret from Poppy's mom surprises everyone. It throws everyone for a loop. This is a book that I read in one day because I just couldn't put it down.

Hold on to your "seats", cause it's one heck of a ride!
Format: Kindle
What a ride! From page 1, this book grabs you by the throat and doesn't ease up. Even if the ending was slightly predictable, I didn't care. I was so invested in all these characters that I read the whole book in 8 hours then I stood up and literally cheered at the end of the book. One of my favourite reads of the year. This is what a suspense book should make you feel.
