An Insightful Book – Seeing Jesus from The East
Ravi Zacharias is a well known author and Bible teacher. I confess that I haven’t read much of his work. With his recent passing, I picked this book up and I’m drawn in. I have been intrigued by seeing the world through an eastern perspective.
From Amazon:
Encounter Jesus Like Never Before through Eastern Eyes
Throughout these pages, Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray invite readers to rediscover the cultural insights we often miss when we ignore the Eastern context of the Bible. They offer a refreshing picture of Jesus, one that appeals to Eastern readers and can penetrate the hearts and imaginations of postmodern Westerners.
In Seeing Jesus from the East, Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray show us why a broader view of Jesus is needed – one that recognizes the uniquely Eastern ways of thinking and communicating found in the pages of the Bible. Zacharias and Murray capture a revitalized gospel message, presenting it through this Eastern lens and revealing its power afresh to Western hearts and minds.
Incorporating story, vivid imagery, and the concepts of honor and shame, sacrifice, and rewards, Seeing Jesus from the East calls believers and skeptics, both Eastern and Western, to a fresh encounter with the living and boundless Jesus.
A “Healthy” Soda – Orange Zevia
Zevia makes several zero-calorie sodas that are naturally sweetened with stevia, which is far healthier than normal sweeteners. Their orange-flavored soda is one of my favorites. I tend to pick the flavors that do not contain caffeine. While these sodas might take some getting used to at first, I have found them a good go-to when I need some fizz.
