Dynamic Living in Desperate Times: A Study in the Book of Jeremiah Chris Jackson

Who is showing us the way? In ancient Palestine, when Jesus Christ asked people who they thought he was, one of their top guesses was the Old Testament prophet, Jeremiah. ""Who do people say that I am?"" ""Some say Jeremiah or one of the prophets."" There was something about Jesus that reminded people of Jeremiah. In our moment in history, when we desperately need leaders and role models to show us a better way, Jeremiah stands as a human cornerstone, a blueprint for dynamic living in the middle of desperate times. With compassion and biblical insight, author Chris Jackson shows us how ancient wisdom from Jeremiah's life can lead us into towering, dynamic living today. ""You may have more in common with the ancient prophet Jeremiah than you ever realized, and the truth of it is revealed in this inspirational and thought-provoking book. Ever wonder why life's trials sometimes seem to go from hard to harder? God told Jeremiah why. This book points to answers for some of the deepest questions of modern Christians. It is excellent, thoughtful, and an important work on the life of Jeremiah."" --Stan Fleming, Gate Breaker Ministries Chris Jackson is the lead pastor of Grace Church in La Verne, California, an adjunct professor of theology at Azusa Pacific University, and the author of several books.
