The Jesus Who Surprises by Dee Brestin

Here is the book summary:

Join beloved Bible teacher and best-selling author Dee Brestin in discovering the surprising places Jesus shows up in the Old Testament and the unexpected ways He speaks into our lives today.

Offering a fascinating perspective on the historic, poetic, and prophetic books of the Old Testament, Brestin draws on her deep understanding of the full scope of the Bible to explore the timeless story of God's quest to rescue each of us. She combines rich teaching, memorable storytelling, and an in-depth Bible study component to create a resource that shows readers how the story began (the books of Moses), how to live in the story (the poetic books), and how the story will end (the prophets).

And now, my review:

The Jesus Who Surprises book by Dee Brestin was a God-send.  This author is so transparent, refreshing, and full of Truth.  I was really drawn to her words. She breaks the end of each chapter into a 5-day Bible Study and optional on-line sermon suggestions.  I loved her “Today I spied God when…” journal prompts.  So important to pay attention to His movements within and without.  And stopping to reflect on them.  I loved this from the book, “prayer is not getting God to give you what you want but dialoguing with Him, listening to Him, submitting to Him, and asking Him to give you what He wants, even if it is costly.”  I highly recommend this one.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
