It's not exactly how one would expect God to occupy himself. Lord of space and time, newly resurrected from the dead, and what is he doing? Sitting quietly by the lakeside, cooking up breakfast and waiting for the disciples to drop by. The Gospels are full of odd quirks that most people never notice because the stories are so familiar. But Conrad Gempf notices. He uses his knowledge of Jesus' life and times to light up the meditations in this book. The forty short encounters in this book focus on Jesus as a teacher, Jesus as a miracle worker, on Jesus' radical spirituality and on his death and resurrection. Seasoning its unique insights with humor, Mealtime Habits of the Messiah both satisfies the hungry soul and piques the reader's appetite for prayer. "Gempf's well-balanced approach ...will put fuel in the tanks of all our journeys toward wholeness and purpose." - Rob Lacey, from the foreword "Conrad's book is a delight. It's like its subject, Jesus: alive, fun, engaging, warm, and occasionally wonderfully dangerous." - Jeff Lucas "An Inspiring and startling portrait of Jesus which will nourish your spirit and feed your soul." - Steve Chalke
A look at the questions Jesus asks us---which enrich our
understanding and faith.In the Gospels, when people asked Jesus a
question, he often replied with one of his own: 'Good teacher, what
must I do to inherit eternal life?' 'Why do you call me good?'
British author Conrad Gempf invites readers to look at these
questions and discover Jesus' motivation. What could the second
person of the Trinity want to know that he doesn't already? Gempf
concludes that Jesus wants to know where we stand. He doesn't need
to know more facts; he wants to know us.
The Book of Acts in Its Graeco-Roman Setting locates the Book of
Acts within various regional and cultural settings in the eastern
Mediterranean. These studies draw on recent archaeological
fieldwork and epigraphic discoveries to describe the key cities and
provinces within the Roman Empire. The relevant societal aspects of
these regions, such as the Roman legal system, Roman religion, and
the problem of transport and travel, all help contextualize the
Book of Acts.
