Great Devotional Resource

John Dear spent a year's sabbatical reflecting on the questions of Jesus. His insights are unique and challenging. His writing is beautiful. I've recommended this book to many. A word of caution: Mr. Dear is pretty far left in his political views, and this occasionally comes out in his writings. But even a crusty conservative like me can find much beauty and inspiration in his writing.

Fresh, insightful, and challenging

I love this book! I use it for preaching and Bible study. It provides a fresh, insightful, and challenging view of familiar texts. Sometimes provocative, always helpful, this book has made it possible for me for approach scripture in a new way.
