The Teachings of Jesus: Interpreted for Everyday Living is a compilation of Jesus' universal and timeless teachings, which are interpreted into contemporary language. Each interpretation retains the essence of Jesus' original words, while making them understandable and pertinent to modern day sensibilities. In this world of busyness and stressful demands, this book offers brief, yet profound, insights that can be directly applied to daily living regardless of one's religious affiliation or spiritual tradition. The Teachings of Jesus: Interpreted for Daily Living can be used as a companion in contemplation, prayer, and in the practice of lectio divina (contemplative reading). It is invaluable as a spiritual guide, and can serve as a resource for pastoral ministry, Bible study, and spiritual dialogue groups.
