In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado looks at the miracles of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of John. As John states, he recorded many of these signs for an express purpose: "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31). John chose the stories and events from Jesus' life that he believed would give his readers strength, empower them, lift them up, and speak life into their situations.
By the time John penned the words of his Gospel, he was an old man . . . his hair silver and skin wrinkled. He was pastoring a collection of Christ followers in the distant city of Ephesus. But he still loved to tell the story—some six decades earlier and a thousand miles removed—of when Jesus first called him to lay down his net . . . and he obeyed. The others are gone now. Peter, Andrew, James. They've long since followed their calls and fulfilled their missions. Only John remains, and he knows that his days are coming to an end. It is with this purpose that he takes up his pen . . . to help his readers believe and have life.
John's record of Jesus' miracles reassure us that we are never stuck or without hope. We are never forgotten. All the forces of heaven have been marshalled to come to our aid. A rescue mission is underway! The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. A multitude of angels and the power of Scripture. The strength of prayer and the wisdom of saints. All this, and more, are continually working together to get us out and see us through. This is the message of the miracles . . . that with God you are never alone.

Since its completion in 1647 the Westminster Shorter Catechism has
been unsurpassed as a concise tool for teaching the Reformed
understanding of Scripture. Though the truths of the catechism are
unchanging, the English language has undergive many changes, which
have made using the catechism in its original form increasingly
difficult.
This journal is for those who are hungry for more.
The Captivating Guided Journal is designed to complement your reading
of Captivating – there is one chapter in the journal for every one of
the twelve chapters in the book. Using this journal means you’re hungry
for more. More of Jesus, more healing, more restoration, and more
transformation into the woman you were created to be. You even get more
in the journal itself! The “Windows to the Heart” and “Lifting the
Veil” sections feature special features and excerpts from other books
and movies that you won’t find in the companion book.
By the way, this is not your normal “workbook.” There are no wrong
answers. No fill-in-the-blanks. You don’t have to struggle or worry
about “getting it right.” Who wants another workbook anyway? We have
enough work to do already. Besides, calling this a workbook would imply
that the messages in the book Captivating are to be mastered. And
mastered in a measurable way. Not at all. The messages in the book are
to be pondered, considered. Some embraced. Some practiced. Some set
aside for a later time.
In this journal you will experience…
- Excerpts from the companion book, Captivating
- Guided prayers
- “Windows to Your Heart” – insights from movies, books, and
music
- “Lifting the Veil” – an activity or exercise to try
- Journaling prompts correlating to each section of the
chapter in the book
This journal is for your heart. Engaging with it says that you are
willing to take a journey of discovery with him. You have said “yes” to
God. You are continuing to say “yes.” May he meet you in the deep
places of your heart and bring you hope, courage, healing, and the
delights of intimacy that only God can bring.
