Things That Jesus Did: Miracles of the Kingdom & Signs of Eternal Life
Doug RowstonPaperback 2022-05-15
Things that Jesus did: Miracles of the Kingdom & Signs of Eternal Life treats miracles and signs of Jesus in all four Gospels. Jesus performed signs of God's power, revealed the splendour of God, fulfilled the promises of the Old Testament, spoke words of transformation, and called ordinary people to follow him on an extraordinary venture. This book is designed for personal and group study. In telling and interpreting these miracles and signs readers are given opportunities to experience the coming of God's reign and the gift of God's kind of life.
Bishop Tim Harris in his review of Things that Jesus did has said, "Providing just enough background information, Rowston adeptly places the passages in context, while ensuring the power of these narratives stays much in the foreground. Accessible for those seeking an introduction, and with some great insights for those more familiar with such passages, this new book continues like the earlier Things that Jesus said to take the reader on a pilgrimage of sorts, drawn further along following the footsteps of Jesus on a journey still underway."
Dr. Melinda Cousins assesses Things that Jesus did as follows. The author "draws on insights from archaeology, geography, and history to provide helpful background commentary, but his real strength in his ability to weave personal stories - of his own, those he has met, and those both known and obscure to history - to offer an invitation to the reader to engage their imagination, enter into the events, and therein encounter Jesus. His simple reflections and humble prayers at the conclusion of each story serve as a profound reminder that these stories can be encountered again and again."
