Product description

Review

"This is a beautiful book, perfect for busy and tired nurses. . . . This small book is ideal as a daily devotional or for a group discussion with other nurses. A small group of nurses at work or the university could easily share insights from a chapter in a brief discussion group."--Lesa Gardner, Journal of Christian Nursing, January-March 2015

"Highly recommended for a transformational 30 days. Repeat often."--Andrea Hunter, Worship Leader Magazine, October 2013

"Smith's clear, thoughtful and pertinent engagement with the text strikes a careful balance of personal anecdotes, insights into spiritual formation and exposition of the biblical text. . . . This book will serve pastors, ministry leaders and small groups in their journey toward understanding not only this passage, but the Christian story as a whole."--Ben Espinoza, Bible Study Magazine, March/April 2014

"This book is similar to an inductive study, as Smith breaks down every word or phrase in the passage. He successfully keeps the book engaging by sharing personal experiences, while still including biblical studies. . . . the book is well organized, thought provoking, and insightful."--Church Libraries, Winter 2013-14

Brilliant book of meditations that are simple without being simplistic. A good reminder of how to live out faith in Jesus. Suitable for daily reflection, although lack wider biblical passages to look up.

An excellent, thought provoking, devotional style study on Colossions 3 v 1-17.
Each chapter focusses on a particular word from the bible text and gives plenty of ideas for further reflection and prayer.
Very challenging.

What would it be like if one where to take a section of scripture and memorize it? What would be the outcome and affect? Jim Smith took the time to memorize the first 17 verses of Colossians chapter 3 and this amazing book came out of it. He wrote the book as a 30-day devotional with each day reflecting on a word or phrase from each verse. Built into the end of each chapter (day),which take about 10-15 minutes to read, is an opportunity for the reader to respond, affirm, pray and reflect. Some of the insights that ooze out of this book is the reminder of how powerful scripture memorization is and how the word of God changes lives. At the end of the book there is also a group discussion guide to help with further reflection. If you since you need a change or want a fresh perspective on how you currently spend time (or lack of time) with God, this book is a healthy option. This book was written to be read as a devotional. I would recommend taking the time to read this book and go through and complete the responses at the end of each chapter. I would also encourage forming a group and going over the group discussion questions to build on what the Holy Spirit is revealing to you.

What Does Paul Mean That Our Lives Are "Hidden With Christ in God"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed reading this book as much as I felt inspired and challenged to think again about familiar passages of scripture. James writes in natural and fluid style in a manner which all can relate to because his life lessons are drawn from everyday life – from mowing the lawn, tuning a car radio to playing the guitar.

The structure of the chapters is easily accessible and does not overload you with questions at the end to ponder. Instead he provides four sections to help you to apply and memorize the teaching: Living into the Truth; Affirmation; Prayer and Reflection.

Target audience

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to take a closer look at the amazing truths in Colossians 3, and to learn and grow through doing so. I think it is also something that will appeal to anyone seeking to grow in their faith.

Verdict

This is a book I would recommend to others to grow their relationship with God and was a worthwhile read.

James writes of how we should appreciate the wondrous truth that just as Christ dwells within us we too are hidden within Him. He writes:

“As I began to delve deeper into this word (and parallel passages) a new understanding of what it means to have my life hidden in Christ emerged, and with it a deeper gratitude to God and a more solid confidence in Jesus than ever before.” P14
