In the Eye of the Storm

A devotional book by a popular American Christian writer, inspired by one of the busier days of Jesus' life. The author uses personal anecdotes and some extrapolation of ideas to inspire and encourage readers, in three broad sections covering demands, doubt and failure.

It's light-weight reading, not really offering anything new, but some interesting insights. In some places it was so US-centric that I was either lost (for instance in sports references) or bewildered; and in some places there was too much repetition, presumably to try to make a point more strongly.

Still, it made a good start to the day to read two or three brief sections each day for a couple of weeks, and I would recommend it in a low-key way.

Come face-to-face with Jesus when He experienced more stress than any other day of his life aside from his crucifixion. Before the morning became evening, he has reason to weep, run, shout, curse, praise, and doubt. If you know what it means to be caught in life's storms…if you've ever ridden the roller coaster of sorrow and celebration…if you've ever wondered if God in heaven can relate to you on earth, then this book will encourage and inspire you.

This was a good inspirational book. It did seem like a collection of short essays instead of a cohesive book. Great truths in here so well worth the read.

Describes how Christ stayed calm amid the turmoil that surrounded Him during His life on the earth.
