Living the Life of Jesus in the 21st Century

Tom McQueen, M.Div., Ph.D., BCC

A CBM Christian Book Review 

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

~ A wonderful and encouraging read for those who choose to live their lives as disciples of Christ in the 21^st Century.

Living the Life of Jesus in the 21^st Century, from author Tom McQueen, brings a life of clarity, unity in Christ, and inspiration to all the Lord’s faithful saints. 

Speaking deep spiritual truths from the Kingdom of God through the parables and the gospels of Christ, he offers hope and encouragement for those disciples of Christ living out the life of Christ in the 21^st Century. 

Highlighting there is only One – Jesus Christ - Who laid down His life upon the cross to give us the New Covenant, Christ’s teachings, and Kingdom of God alongside timeless principles that are relevant today. Renewing faith, hope, and strength, the author delivers a book dedicated to those deeply dedicated saints of God seeking to live the life of Jesus in the 21^st Century.

We live in a world that is full of division, darkness, and distractions in these End Times. However, the Kingdom of God, Jesus’ Kingdom principles, and timeless messages from the Bible still hold firm for the saints of today.

The following chapter titles in Tom's book present a clear picture of how powerful and meaningful this book is for our everyday lives.

·    The Enduring Relevance of the Nazarene

·    The Sermon of the Mount: Ethics for the Kingdom

·    The Power of Parables: Unlocking Spiritual Truths

·    Miracles of Compassion: Healing and Restoration

·    The Way of Forgiveness: Releasing and Reconciling

·    The Call to Service: Living as Hands and Feet

·    The Practice of Prayer: Communicating with the Creator

·    Navigating Relationships: Love, Grace, and Truth,

·    Ethical Dilemmas: Integrity in a Complex World

·    Cultivating Inner Peace: Faith Amidst Turmoil

·    The Power of Sacrifice: Embracing the Cross Daily

·    Living the Life of Jesus Today: A Continuing Journey

This, as the author states, “…is an invitation to move beyond passive reception of religious doctrine and actively participate in the ongoing work of God’s Kingdom.”

A highly recommended read for those who desire to surrender all to Christ, dedicating their lives to Him, and desire to fervently live as disciples of Christ.

Title: Knowing HIM in His Word and Prayer
By: Thomas J. Mozden
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Knowing HIM in His Word and Prayer by Thomas J. Mozden is a daily devotional study designed to meditate and dig deeper into God’s Word. Each devotional seeks to display and reveal the author’s meditation and thoughts that touched his being, as each scripture verse chosen, he felt led by the Holy Spirit to read. “His Word is alive, and it is here where you will find true life and the gateway to eternal life.” ~ writes the author. He hopes that readers will understand that God’s Word is alive and an all-consuming fire. It is also the author’s hope that each person picking up the book will be touched, inspired, and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ ~ who paid such a high price for the free gift of salvation. 

Several themes run throughout the book, as the author mentions 3 words that are repeated and non-negotiable in speaking of life in Christ. They are: Trust, forgiveness, and love. I love that he begins his book with the scripture verse Matthew 11:28 GNB, “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” 

His insights are compassionate, valuable, and give a fresh perspective to many who will come to understand that this author offers a contemplative interpretation of Scripture. I also came to appreciate his wisdom, insight, intelligence, and greatly valued his perspective. 

This book will bring readers into a deeper relationship and understanding of the Word, as they seek the Lord in their own meditation, prayer, and their own perspective. Written for believers, but this also comes as a wonderful book to encourage others to believe in the Lord and to ignite faith, hope, strength, and love through reading God’s Word. 

This book also comes highly recommended for those who seek a book written and guided by someone who is Holy Spirit-led in their writings.

Christian Author Nigel Bird

The Arsenal of Grace
Confidence Out Of Suffering
Author: Nigel Bird
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

The Arsenal of Grace: Confidence Out of Suffering by Nigel Bird is a collection of articles and perspectives from the author written at different dates and pertaining to his experiences, reflections, perspectives - all written at different times in his walk with the Lord to help others and inspire others as they are willing to read his writings. He states his book is “A collection of articles fleshing out a considered Christian viewpoint respecting the Bible but based on relationship with God and other people arising from intelligence, learning, and mental suffering.”

Further stating he is inspired by the grace of God, he offers readers a glimpse of the cross, the free gift of salvation, and of the arsenal of grace that he calls ammunition from the foot of the cross.  His writings serves as autobiographical giving insight into his early college years, his health, and his sufferings. Written all to bring encouragement to others to learn to listen, pray, and keep a Biblical perspective as it pertains to godly relationships.

He is an author that has taken time also to write letters giving feedback as to his experiences at a particular church for them to reflect upon as “positive criticism” to come up higher in the attaining to unity within the Christian theme of unity in churches, what the Bible calls a healthy church, and what being evangelical looks like from his definition, to include, as such he describes, perspectives of others as mentioned in his bibliography.

The author shares in this book that God’s greatest gift to humanity is that of “salvation and eternity with Him. But that God’s greatest earthly gift must be that of prayer, such that we can approach the throne of God at any time, without any fear, knowing that He yearns to engage with us…” Therefore, his letters, stories, articles, and words are a culmination of his writings that endeavour to reveal the grace of God and the beauty of God to inspire whosoever chooses to read his book. He also emphasises that the art of listening to one’s heart, not judging, and having empathy serves as a catalyst to relationship as a Christian.  

With that said may the beauty of the Gospel and that of prayer give insight and share the beauty of the Grace of God in loving each other. His hopes are that others would be inspired, encouraged, and helped in whatever state life finds them in.

Earthly Stories with Spiritual Meaning

Title: Earthly Stories with Spiritual Meaning:

Spiritual Lessons Learned from Real Life Events

By: Danny Dodson

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Danny Dodson’s book gives us a collection of his own life experiences that offer “lessons learned” insight to uplift the spiritual condition of readers while giving them a bit of entertainment along the way. Some of the stories are humorous, and some are nostalgic, as the author points out. However, all involve the application of life experiences that teach us valuable principles we need to learn from the Holy Scriptures. We travel along our earthly journeys in preparation for an eternal home; but, in the meantime, while on Earth, our earthly stories can have deep spiritual significance. This is the purpose of the book – to teach some spiritual lessons learned from real-life events, and to give readers a deeper understanding of their own walk with God.

Deeply insightful, the author starts off with the book’s first section being entitled “Walking Worthy.”  Does this not say it all?  Then he delves into chapters that offer really wonderful insights with teachings that one cannot lay aside. Chapters within Section 1: “Walking Worthy” include: How’s Your Eyesight? The Servant Attitude, The Power of Working Together, and Lacing Up Your Gospel Shoes.  Section 2: “Overcoming Satan” includes: The Devil Sounds A Lot Like God, Unable to Walk, The Jericho Road, and Christian Superpowers and Kryptonite. Section 3: “Looking to the Goal” includes: Heaven Will Surely Be Worth It All, Keeping Your Eyes on Jesus, and Christ and the Church. And Section 4: “Final Thoughts” includes: Uncomfortable Joy, and Mother’s Last Message.  All these chapters give deep meaning and understanding to the valleys and mountaintops we all experience.

I find his book a fantastic read to help understand that there is victory on the other side. His teachings are truly invaluable, life-changing, and a blessing to read. As a long-time Bible student, teacher, and preacher, his writings are sermons that one will not forget.

Filled with Scriptural insight and much teaching, this book comes as highly recommended to those in need of spiritual direction, Biblical encouragement, and inspiration!

Author James Collins releases The Shepherd: Experiencing Psalm 23

The Shepherd: Experiencing Psalm 23

James Collins

A CBM Christian Book Review

10.0 out of 10.0 stars

James Collins takes readers through the 23rd Psalm – giving readers the experience of one of the most popular Psalms in the Bible. He describes Psalm 23 as a psalm for all of life. When faced with trials, tribulation, sorrow, and death – the Psalm gives comfort to all. When in need of hope – Psalm 23 gives comfort and courage to all who would seek to understand that we are His chosen people and we are the sheep of His (Christ’s) pasture. And He is the Good Shepherd, the Shepherd who cares for the sheep. There is no other Psalm like the 23rd Psalm to help one understand the care that the Shepherd gives to His sheep.

Within that the author endeavors to help readers understand the deeper meaning of the contrast between saying that Jesus is My Shepherd. The line that struck me was there are no wild sheep. If sheep run they will die in the wild. As such, he defines the absolute care and protection that the Shepherd brings to His flock. The Shepherd cares for each and every one, as a shepherd in the field cares for the sheep. He also mentions that even though Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, Psalm 23 is a psalm for all the days of our lives – to give life and hope.

With such chapters as: That’s Enough, The Right Path, Through the Valley, Behind Enemy Lines, The Best is Yet to Come, I Am the Good Shepherd, Shepherds and the Lamb with a chapter on How to Receive Christ – making this book an experience of Psalm 23 and a life-changing Psalm.

I love the interludes, the thought-provoking stories, and the way he summarizes what he writes in a simplistic way without too much theology or long-winded preaching. The author speaks from the heart as a Biblical counselor and pastor that comforts.

Wonderful insight and Biblical integrity envelope the book, giving readers hope, inspiration, comfort, courage, and hope. All will see that walking with the Lamb of God as the Good Shepherd is the way to peace, contentment, and hope in this dark world. It is the Good Shepherd who gave His life for the sheep. Experiencing this book brings a deeper appreciation for the Cross and a greater understanding of Psalms 22, 23, and Psalm 24 as well. It was David who penned these psalms, which are still incredibly relevant for today. They also reveal the magnificence of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who came to save the world and to die on a Cross for all who would receive Him. This is an exemplary book!

A highly recommended read for those looking for hope and encouragement amid fear, anxiety, worry, and depression – Psalm 23 is a lifetime Psalm for all.

Keys to the Troubled Soul: A Self Guide to Daily Struggles by Dr. Oladapo OsuntoKun, a pastor and psychiatrist, has seen many afflicted by mental and emotional struggles. He understands people's troubles and has written a practical self-help guide to help one make sense of life’s maladies, thus offering wisdom, to include practical solutions based on years of experience, coupled with a Christian background. This wonderful book uplifts the readers to help them in their time of need. Ultimately, the author leads readers to the “real truth” in life stating, “His name is Jesus.” Within this book, he offers keys to spiritual life in overcoming that include perspective, prayer, and meditation.  

Stating that, “There is no growth without obstacles,” and that “adversities are common,” this self-guide is written with great compassion. Knowing the plethora of human struggles that can take place in one’s life, the author also relates that darkness and hopelessness can plague the mind and soul of an individual, especially wherein one feels isolated with no one to help or talk to. Reading this book is like consulting a caring friend and finding the help one needs in various areas of life, which are all common to mankind.

Giving readers a “how to” achieve “spiritual and mental clarity”, while also addressing practical solutions, and “steps to overcome challenges,” this book is laid out easily, double-spaced with powerful statements. Each sentence has a way of sinking in while reading with this format (instead of paragraphs) that is utilized. The author has created a book with the overall goal of managing daily stress and mental positivity while trusting Jesus and participating in daily Christian disciplines such as prayer; again, his book is extremely practical. Specific issues such as jealousy, betrayal, sorrow, resentment, despair, depression, drug, and alcohol use, stressed, or feeling “stuck”, regret, defeat, and failure produce a true self-help guide. Discovering who you are and taming emotions, along with perspective and the inner thought life of a person fosters maturity and transformation. The keys to a positive outlook on life with the aid of functioning as a Christian, seeking Jesus, helps one become “resilient” through life’s trials.

He states, “A real knockdown” can lead to “pin-down” wherein the person is unable to arise; this is where morals, values, and character come into play. One can learn to navigate their response to unannounced calamity. How one responds is key. He continues to give the keys through each chapter that bring maturity and build character. He encourages readers to “Always think positively, the next adversity may contain the path to your success.” Failure, hardship, disappointments, and discouragements are not the end of your story, but can be flipped to a future one may never have imagined. His message is clear: It is not the end when facing adversity.

The “Take Home Summary” at the end of each chapter is especially helpful, as the author encourages readers to keep close to God, keep peace in their heart and mind, as one hears from Jesus and the Word of God for relief, strategies, and solutions.

This book comes as a highly recommended read for those that find living in this world feels more like a battlefield! This author has put a great deal of work into writing a self-help guide that includes many issues that no one on this planet has escaped. Real, practical, uplifting, encouraging, and full of sound wisdom backed by the Biblical wisdom found in Scripture bring much hope to readers. Surely, this book helps one to become a champion in life and leads to a positive mindset that is achievable.

Surely, this book can be of much use to pastors, missionaries, parents, and the next generation as they mature into adults, giving many the tools and keys to unlocking their destinies in life.

Growing up in an idyllic setting in the 40’s and 50’s of suburban Idaho, her title, Home Before Dark, speaks of a time of innocence, as mother’s would say to their children to “be home before dark.” This era was encapsulated by tradition and routines wherein families could thrive.

A Must Read!
