The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus Book by Adam Hamilton
T
Travel with Adam Hamilton as he retraces the life and ministry of Jesus
Christ. Once again, Hamilton approaches his subject matter with
thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus crucifixion in 24
Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus birth in The Journey. Read
The Way on your own or, for a more in-depth study, enjoy it with a small
group or part of a 40-day church-wide emphasis during Lent and Easter
or anytime of the year.
Using historical information, archaeological
data, and stories of the faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of
Jesus from his baptism to the temptations to the heart of his ministry,
including the people he loved, the parables he taught, the enemies he
made, and the healing he brought. This 40-day focus will help you and
your group grow deeper in their faith, learn more about the life of
Christ, spend time daily reading and reflecting upon the Scriptures, and
invite families, through the children s and youth studies, to grow
together in their faith. Additional resources include a DVD, devotional,
youth and children editions, and a worship download to help with sermon
planning. Lent, Lenten, Lenten Resource, Lenten Resources, Lent Study,
