ministry of Jesus • Each day’s entry includes a Scripture text,
meditation, and questions for journaling and spiritual growth Lent
is a journey of the mind, heart, and spirit from the ashes of
humanity to the cross and beyond—to the empty tomb. The central
figure in that journey is Jesus. But who was he really? Why did he
come and minister among us? How can his teachings enhance our
lives? Why did he die? What does his resurrection really mean?
These are questions that spur believers of all ages to seek a
deeper understanding and appreciation of the Son of Man in their
lives. In this collection of fifty-two meditations and additional
resources for spiritual growth, Peter Wallace guides readers
through the life and ministry, the words and works of Jesus, with
the goal of getting to know him in fresh new ways that encourage a
stronger faith and a spirited engagement with the world around us.
An accessible and engaging treatment of the experience of Jewish
summer camps. This book tells the story of how Jewish camps have
emerged as creators of positive spiritual experiences for Jewish
youth in North America. When Jewish camps began at the dawn of the
twentieth century, their leaders had little interest in creating
Jewish spiritual experiences for their campers. Yet over the course
of the past century, Jewish camps have gradually moved into
providing primal Jewish experiences that diverse campers can enjoy,
parents appreciate, and alumni fondly recall. Making Shabbat Real
explores how Shabbat at camp became the focal point for these
primal Jewish experiences, providing an interesting perspective on
changing approaches to Jewish education and identity in North
America.
