missionlady Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I liked the idea of this book so I bought one several years ago. I started reading it so that I would know what it was like and could recommend it to others. But just as I was getting started reading it a friend told me she was having trouble reading the Desire of Ages. So I loaned her my new book. Now we finally got a new copy-in fact, we got several-and my husband and I are reading it for evening worship each day. So far I like it. It follows Ellen White's style, but it is modernized and somewhat simplified. With so many people today that are so unfamiliar with the Bible, I think it is necesarry to reach them in an appropriate way that they can understand. Quote

missionlady Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Dgrimm60, Yes, we got the book at the ABC. We don't have a local ABC, so we ordered online. By the way,I don't know if it was intentional, but you called me missionARYlady instead of missionlady. I LIKE IT. I call myself Missionlady, because for many years I told the mission story to children in Sabbath School. But I really hope I am a missionary also. :] Quote
Jerry D Thomas Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I am so happy to hear that Messiah is blessing you. The story of Jesus has great power and Ellen White's insights are truly inspiring. But none that helps you if you can't get through the words. That's why the New Testament was written in "koine" Greek, the common tongue, the language of the people, instead of classic Greek. Language should never be a barrier to truth. Quote
Members phkrause Posted February 22, 2009 Members Posted February 22, 2009 Hi dgrimm, I bought the book awhile back but have started a few times and for some reason never get to continue. But we are almost finished with another book at our worship time, and hoping to start this book. Have heard many good things about it. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Members phkrause Posted February 22, 2009 Members Posted February 22, 2009 Didn't you say above that you had bought this book already? pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted February 22, 2009 Members Posted February 22, 2009 I have the book MESSIAH - I really like it.... Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Karrie Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 If you're enjoying Messiah - you'll love Jerry's new book, Blessings - a modern-day paraphrase of Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings. It's one of my favorite books this year Quote
