It's never been easy to a disciple of Jesus; it often involves forsaking people, ambitions or associations as we answer the call of "Follow Me".This book traces the principles of separation for service, from the time of Abraham to the present.

In order to understand why, John Edward Te...

There is little agreement today on what it takes to be intelligent. Yet this word is widely believed to be about something real, mostly biological, and important. From this popular perspective, intelligence is also something you can have a lot of, and luckily find yourself being labeled as a genius. Or sadly, something you do not have nearly enough of, and so find yourself being seen by others, at least behind your back, as silly, stupid, or plainly idiotic. Looked at closely, however, it ...

John's view of the life of Jesus is not identical to the three synoptic Gospels. It is more personal and more selective and focuses on encounters and events of Jesus, such as His "I am" statements and certain miracles that occurred to change the lives of people in need, which always brought a negative response from the religious authorities.
