Book Nook: The Remedy Expanded New Testament Paraphrase

I recently had a chance to review The Remedy New Testament Expanded Paraphrase by Timothy R Jennings, author of The God-Shaped Heart.

Throughout his extensive career as a Christian psychiatrist, Jennings has treated thousands of patients who believed in God but struggled to trust him, and too often feared him. As a result, they suffered through depression, despair and dysfunction. The revolutionary and healing approach to scripture in The Remedy is meant as a gift to readers searching desperately for a genuine trust experience with a God who is love.

The entire New Testament, in this paraphrase, is seen through the filter of God's limitless love. Avid Bible readers won't find anything brand-new, but will get a stronger insight into love, and how that love shapes everything in His eternal plan of salvation. Those who have been turned off in the past by an image of a judgmental God will find a refreshing new perspective on how God choose mercy over punishment.

It's an uplifting read, for new and experienced Christians alike, and one that will certainly make readers rest assured in God's love.
