How rich are we?,

This review is from: Kissing the Leper: Seeing Jesus in the Least of These (Paperback)
I read this book shortly after returning from a trip working in Rwanda ... couldn't put it down! We all need to be challenged with understanding God's heart for the poor and disenfranchised ... don't read this book unless you're willing to make some value and priority changes in your life!

Truly inspiring,
By Tim Lasiuta "Comic Fan 42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kissing the Leper: Seeing Jesus in the Least of These (Paperback)
Brad Jersak is an amazing speaker. He is also an amazing Godly man. "Kissing the Leper" is a deeply touching collection of encounters with god as seen through the 'healthy' and not so healthy among us.Brad and his co-authors take readers into Fresh Wind and its' remarkable ministry. We learn about Jenni, Kathy, Lilut, and many other teachers. The least of these can teach us so much about Jesus and how we can truly love. It is very difficult to describe the impact of this book except in saying that once you finish it, you want more. Just like drinking of Jesus, true stories of Jesus encounters always lead us to wanting more, and feeling refreshed. Two very important lessons in ths book. Open temple, open Table. and Open Arms, Open heart. Love like you've never loved before. Serve like you've never served before. "Kissing the Leper" is an amazing book from an amazing ministry. Prepare to be inspired. Tim Lasiuta 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

A Dubious Disciple Book Review,
By Dubious Disciple "Lee Harmon" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kissing the Leper: Seeing Jesus in the Least of These (Paperback)
Revelation counsels, "anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." This is a book about seeing Jesus, especially in the marginalized. The title derives from an encounter that Francis of Assisi had with Christ in a leper. In that moment, his eyes were opened to the possibility of seeing Jesus in those whom you wouldn't expect. We naturally turn away from those we deem too sinful, too broken, too small or too poor ... and when we do, we miss seeing Jesus.There are several contributors, and maybe a couple dozen stories, finding Jesus in the most unlikely. Here's one: Marshall Rosenberg tells of his grandmother meeting a bearded, scraggly beggar at the door, looking for some dinner. She asked him his name. "My name is Jesus," he replied. "Do you have a last name?" "I am Jesus the Lord." The man didn't have a home, didn't know where he'd be staying. "Would you like to stay here?" He stayed seven years. Would you have seen Jesus in this man? Without a driving compassion to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless, few would have seen more than a filthy lunatic. In this book, you'll meet Jesus among the sick, mentally and physically disabled, autistic, even someone with multiple personalities. Aids victims, addicts, gays. I think you'll meet just about everybody but a real leper. Touching and refreshing, you'll finish the book with a deeper compassion and an eye for Jesus ... and maybe an open table. |
