What I got out of it
  1. This was definitely an interesting read and for me really helped make many of the passages in the Bible more relatable and therefore more relevant and exciting
  • Wants to answer who Jesus is from his point of view
  • Ignation contemplation - putting yourself and vividly imagining to be in scenes from the Gospel
  • The people on earth form the body of Jesus Christ
  • Somewhat reluctantly agrees to go to Israel to do research for this book and to get to know the holy land
  • Mary was a poor Jewish woman in the middle of nowhere who had great courage to accept God and bear Jesus
  • When Jesus told his hometown he was the savior they were angered and he eventually had to leave his hometown
  • Change often happens too slowly to see it
  • Often our perceptions of others good fortune is exaggerated and of our own misfortune skewed
  • Be completely honest with your desires
  • If we're completely honest with ourselves we often know exactly what we need to do
  • Carry your cross daily - can share issues but don't let it affect others or other parts of your life
  • The saddest people are those with no tribulations
