Life-changing Non-fiction

Blessings on this first day of September!

I know we’re all about the fiction here at Inspired by Life & Fiction. But just for today, we’re switching sides . . .

For the past four plus years, I’ve been blessed to study the Word of God with Kristi McLelland, a professor and biblical culturalist in Nashville—and a phenomenal teacher of the Word. She’s dedicated her life to teaching people how to study the Bible. Another passion is taking people to Israel!

Here we are in Israel (April 2019) at Masada with our group—an all women’s trip to the Holy Land. Talk about a little piece of heaven here on earth! (Kristi is in the back in denim, and I’m just in front of her in plaid.)

Kristi’s Biblical “feast” entitled Jesus & Women released earlier this year and quickly garnered two #1 bestseller spots in Amazon’s Christian Biblical History and Culture and New Testament Biographies categories—and with good reason.

Jesus & Women really is a life-changing 7-session video study. Seeing Jesus through the eyes of women who came face-to-face with the Living God… Well, you’ll never look at Christ—or your life in him and his desires for you—in the same way again.

Right now all 7 videos in this study are FREE when you buy the study booklet. Details below!

Learning from Kristi, attending her classes, has not only deepened my love for God’s Word, it’s deepened my love for Christ. Through her teaching, she’s shown me that God is better than I ever knew. And for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

She put me onto some wonderful study resources too, and I want to share some of them with you today!

First, if you haven’t read the following books by Lois Tverberg and Ann Spangler, please put them at the top of your to-be-read list. These insights into Rabbi Jesus in his Jewish world make a truly enriching personal or group study. The audible versions of these books are highly recommended too.

Learning about Jesus through the Middle Eastern lens has taken my understanding of God’s Word to a deeper level, and Kenneth E. Bailey’s books have greatly contributed to this.

Lastly, I’m sure most of us are familiar with Ravi Zacharias—gifted apologist, author, and teacher—who passed into eternity earlier this year. You have likely heard him speak before. But have you read one of his books? You’re in for such a treat with Seeing Jesus from The East.

Are you looking for a study that will take you on a deeper dive into God’s Word? Any one of these books will do that, and you’ll leave so much richer for having taken the journey.

Have you read a non-fiction book lately that’s brought you closer to Christ? If yes, what’s the title and author? It can be recently published or a “golden oldie.” I’m always wanting to add to my list!

I look forward to hearing from you—and thanks for being part of the community here at Inspired by Life & Fiction.

Blessings from Tennessee,

Tammy
