The Jesus Priorities: 8 Essential Habits Christopher Maricle

What would Jesus do? is a guiding question for living the Christian life, but it presupposes that we know the Bible well enough to come up with the answer. Christopher Maricle helps answer that question by mapping out the main priorities Jesus modeled in his life and ministry. He begins by asking a simple question: What did Jesus most frequently and consistently say and do during his public ministry that would be instructive for us? A formal analysis of the Gospels yields 8 priorities to emulate: healing, love, prayer, confidence in the treasures in heaven, oneness with God, spreading the word, innocence, and humility.
THE JESUS PRIORITIES is a warmhearted, straightforward read with discussion grounded in down-to-earth examples from preschoolers, Mother Teresa, Brother Lawrence, and baseball.
