Life's Interruptions - God's Opportunities

By Larry Jones

Book Overview

A man with a larger-than-life humanitarian spirit, Larry Jones started Feed The Children twenty-two years ago. A nonprofit organization, Feed The Children offers help to those in need, and its efforts are well-known across the country and around the world. In Life's Interruptions-God's Opportunities, Larry shares the encounter he had with an impoverished boy in Haiti, which permanently changed Larry's heart. Weaving the parable of the Good Samaritan throughout the book, Larry explains that those irritating interruptions in our lives are actually opportunities that God places before us to lend a helping hand. After all, he reminds us, most of Jesus' miracles were performed when Jesus was interrupted. Filled with inspirational stories of people who help others and of those who have received help, this book gives a straightforward call to action. Photographs from Feed the Children and quotes from celebrities and other famous people are included.

Life's Interruptions - God's Opportunities

This is a very powerful little book that addresses God's calling to each of us, as made clear by the teachings of Jesus Christ. Based on Our Lord's account of the "Good Samaritan", and packed with statistics as well as statements made by people throughout history, this book contains a wealth of material that should get anybody thinking about how much he or she is doing to live the life that God calls us to live. I would highly recommend this book to every person -- whether the person is seeking to follow Our Lord or not.

Excellent Book !

I recently had the honor of purchasing this book and I have to admit I found it to be an amazing collection of lessons for life. This book will touch your heart as well as your soul. It covers such topics as Divine Interruptions, Recognizing Our Responsibility, The Wounded Won't Wait, Compassion in Action, and Go and Do Likewise. I was truly inspired by the story entitled "It Doesn't Take Much," this story describes how "Feed the Children" got started. I also enjoyed "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" I promise you will look at life differently once you've read this book because there is nothing greater in life than God's Opportunities.
