The Commandments of Jesus

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Unlike the negative but well-known precepts of the Old Testament--the Ten Commandments--the commands of Jesus are positive and relatively overlooked, despite their superb relevance to the challenges people face today. In Come, Follow Me: The Commandments of Jesus, Anthony J. Gittins helps the reader hear Christ's message and live it in everyday life. Gittins explores some of the positive and specific things that Jesus would have the reader do to follow him.
