Book Nook: What Did Jesus Say? The Seven Messages from the Master

I recently had a chance to review What Did Jesus Say? The Seven Messages from the Master, by author and counselor, Rev. Terry Allan Christian. 

This incredible book organizes the teachings of Jesus using only the words spoken by Jesus and nothing more. The book puts readers into an imagined walk with Jesus on the beach, allowing readers to hear over 500 passages spoken by Him.

“I was asked one time, where did this book idea come from?” says Christian.

“Well, I was called away from motivational speaking at the top of my business career to serve God’s will. When I asked Jesus what He wanted from me that wasn’t already being done, Jesus said; ‘Tell them, what I told them and nothing more. No comments, no opinions!’ With those instructions, I composed What Did Jesus Say: The Seven Messages from the Master containing over 500 scriptures spoken by Jesus to those who loved and followed Him and I’ve added no opinions or comments.

Featuring the "best of the best" of what Jesus said, this book is one of a kind. The scriptures, stripped of everything save for the words spoken directly by Jesus, have been reordered and organized into seven primary messages:

• The Christ
• The Father and Son
• The Word
• The Teachings of Jesus
• The Kingdom of Heaven
• The End Times
• The Holy Spirit

At the bottom of each page are reference notes to find the chapter and verse from which the sayings are drawn in the Bible. The book is perfect for individual daily devotional, Bible study groups or spiritual retreats. It is appropriate for all Christians - the young, the old, the new believers and the life-long followers of Jesus Christ who really want to know specifically what Jesus said regarding these topics.

The book is clear, and although it is simply a record of what Christ said, without a great deal of editorial work, it really brings some messages home to seem them all collected together.

‘What Did Jesus Say? The Seven Messages from the Master’ is available in print, ePub, Kindle and audio book formats, all of which can be ordered through any bookstore, Amazon.com or from the website www.whatdidjesussay.org.
