Rainer, president and CEO of LifeWay Christian Resources, author of <i>I Am a Church Member</i> and <i>Autopsy of a Deceased Church</i></b></p><br><br><p>Jesus may be the most misunderstood person in history, and part of the reason is that most people have never taken time to actually study his life and teachings, 'Christians' not excluded. It's easy to forget that Jesus was not simply an idea or a topic to debate. Rather, he was a man who turned the world upside down by who he was, the things he said, and what he did. James Merritt's <b><i>52 Weeks with Jesus</i></b> is an accessible, digestible exploration of Christ's sermons, stories, and miracles. It shatters myths, shakes assumptions, and is littered with surprising insights you've probably never considered. Thank you, Dr. Merritt, for painting a picture of Jesus that is true and textured and as graceful as the first-century Rabbi himself! <br> --<b>Tullian Tchividjian, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and author of <i>One Way Love</i></b></p><br><br><p>People often approach the biblical narratives of Jesus like a coroner dissecting a corpse, and then wonder why their relationship with Christ is so lifeless. In <b><i>52 Weeks With Jesus</i></b>, Dr. James Merritt leads readers on a year-long journey to meet, experience, and fall in love with the most important person in history. <br> --<b>Andy Stanley, senior pastor, North Point Ministries</b></p><br><br><p>Scripture tells us that blessed is the man who delights in the Word of the Lord and meditates on it day and night. In <b><i>52 Weeks with Jesus</i></b>, James Merritt provides a believer with a year's worth of meditations on the Word made flesh. His observations on the life, ministry, and Lordship of Jesus are winsome, wise, and well written. Anyone who commits to spending 52 weeks meditating on our Lord will be blessed beyond measure for the effort. <br> --<b>Ed Stetzer, LifeWay Research </b></p><br><br><p>To know Jesus is to fall madly in love with Jesus. To understand who he is and what he did (and continues to do!) is to be awed and amazed. It will drive you to worship and then service in gratitude for such a great King. James Merritt helps us spend a year in devotional study of the Son of God. I read the book in a single sitting and was once again overwhelmed at the greatness and goodness of my Savior. So, spend a year and soak in this study. I am convinced you will never be the same. <br> --<b>Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>James Merritt</b> (PhD) is a pastor, author, past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and host of the <i>Touching Lives</i> television program, seen nationwide and in 122 countries.
