    The Five Books of Moses – by Suzanne E. Lier

    Journey Through the Old Testament. The Five Books of Moses. A Family Storybook with Masterpieces of Art

    by Suzanne E. Lier

     Christian Non-Fiction review by: MaryAnn Koopmann

    It is richly illustrated with art and is geared towards families, parents, and children. In addition, it can be of great help to all those who want to get a closer understanding of biblical writings and are looking for an intelligible, easy-to-read introduction along with a selection of core biblical texts.

    We should not deprive our children of this hope. If we read these stories with them, we can awaken their longing for God. We may perhaps also arouse their curiosity. And touch their heart and move their mind with pictures from two thousand years of art. Thus igniting a life-long journey in search of God.

  • Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you despise God?  Do you always believe Jesus? I doubt it? 

    Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them? (ESV)

    Spurgeon asks: Do you add weight to Jesus’ crown of thorns?

    I probably do all too often. (Forgive us, Lord.)

    What more convicting words do we hear than some from God through Moses, the Prophets, the letter writers of the New Testament and especially Jesus:

    O you of little faith…

    Oh, foolish Galatians…

    You who are so slow to believe…

    Of course you doubt your Bible. You probably need to read your Bible more and pray about what you have read. I do.

    Charles Spurgeon’s daily devotional ‘Morning and Evening’ urged faithful followers to do just that.

    My thanks to Truth For Life and the broadcast ministry of Alistair Begg for use of Spurgeon’s devotional message to help me talk of Jesus this morning.
