Bøger af Tim Roehl

Zaccheus the rich man...Bartimaeus the blind man... a nameless woman at a well...a dead friend named Lazarus...a demon possessed man in a graveyard... a little boy with a lunch to share...a woman caught in adultery... They were ordinary people who met an extraordinary Savior. Jesus surprised them with grace and changed their lives forever. Blending the original narratives from Scripture, great research and "sanctified imagination", Tim Roehl brings these stories of people who met Jesus alive as if you were there. As you read their stories, you'll find your own story as well. You'll find that the same Jesus who loved, healed, forgave and set hearts free then still does it now. You'll find yourself saying, "That's the Jesus I want to know!" Originally released in 2000, this is the second edition of "Surprised by Grace".

"Tim Roehl pictures for us the people of Christmas as real people, in real places, with the same fears and longings you and I have. "Christmas Hearts" helps us see the heart of Christmas...I warmly recommend it." Leighton Ford A quiet young girl with an oh-so-common name--Mary... Wonder-filled angels who bring scarcely believable messages to people unknown on earth but famous in heaven.. Three perceptive skywatchers on a long, seeking journey... They all met Jesus that first Christmas in amazing and unexpected ways. As you read their stories, you may see your own story, too...and say, "That's the Jesus I want to know." "Christmas Hearts" blends great Biblical research and "sanctified imagination" to help you see Jesus through the eyes of those who saw Him first. You'll read the stories of well known and little known characters in the original Christmas story in fresh and faith-building ways. "Beyond the Story" questions at the end of each chapter help you dig deeper and apply what you've learned personally or with a small group. Originally released in 1998 and now in its third edition, Christmas Hearts was a featured selection of Crossings Book club.
