Exploring the Way of Jesus

Jesus tells us the kingdom of God is where there is forgiveness, life and light, no hunger, thirst, ordeals, hardships, tears, grief, or death. This book explores Jesus' way to the kingdom of God, including the directions that Jesus tells us to follow to reach the kingdom of God; the problems that Jesus tells us we will encounter along the way; and the strategies that Jesus offers to help us to overcome these problems and to successfully follow his directions.Quotations are new translations from the Greek texts available today.
