Editorial Reviews

Explore the Life of Jesus invites readers to explore Jesus’ life, ministry, and victory over death. Devotions begin with a context to prepare the reader to dive into an incident in Jesus’ life. Readers are encouraged to revisit the passage to notice key details. Questions challenge the reader to think through spiritual concepts and respond to God. Written prayers provide examples of approaching God with respect, praise, and expectation of his answers. Adult literacy ministries would find Explore the Life of Jesus an effective way to disciple believers with low reading ability or to introduce the Savior to new readers who have never heard the good news.

These devotionals do exactly what they say on the tin! They are plain and simple, yet not dull or simplistic. These devotions are biblical and accessible, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to you. They fill a great need in the church for those who would love to know more about the Lord but maybe struggle with heavy reading.

Mez McConnell (Director of 20 schemes)

At last, accessibility-sensitive discipleship materials that include all who seek a closer relationship with the Lord. No one should be excluded from spiritual growth or church life.

Dave Deuel (Senior Research Fellow Emeritus

Chris‘s daily devotions do indeed explore the book of Jonah in a plain and simple format—they are wonderful! For those of us who find reading long, complicated books a challenge, these devotions are perfect. With a consistent structure that simply gets to the heart of the Bible passage, these reflections are laid out in an easy-to-read, clear format. They are truly accessible to all, and I would highly recommend them.

Pippa Cramer

These Plain and Simple Devotions are very clear and concise daily Bible studies for people who find reading a challenge. I love the easy-to-read format, which makes the truth of the Bible accessible to everyone. The short Bible readings and simple structure provide a great way to encourage anyone to grow in faith. Chris has a gift for writing simply, and this feels like a valuable resource that will help many on their journey with Jesus.
