The Life of Jesus in Small Nugget Form

This book gives practical advice in communication and interaction with others using examples from the life of Jesus. It is set up a bit like a daily devotional rather than chapter form. Each "nugget" is one or two pages long and includes both a title and theme quote. Some examples of theme quotes from the book are. - Jesus was authoritative, not authoritarian. - Jesus kept his finger on the pulse of the world. - Look for several people you want for friends. - Jesus kept his complaints private. - Jesus went beyond doing good things for good people. - People become what you call them. - Jesus was discreet in his use of power. - Jesus dealt directly with his enemies. These are just of few of the 59 miniature power lessons from the life of Jesus. This makes a great gift or coffee table book as well as helpful personal tool.
