Book Review: The Greatest Words Ever Spoken

I recently received a copy of The Greatest Words Ever Spoken, by Steven K. Scott the-greatest-wordsand what a resource.  First, I must say that this is a must have book for every preacher of the gospel.  It is similar to the lay out of the Bible Promise books or Nave’s Topical Bible.  Scott breaks down the teachings and sayings of Jesus and puts them into topics.  The author did an outstanding job piecing these words together and developing an easy to find system for what you are looking for.

I cannot think of anything greater than the words of Jesus.  For any student of the Word, the Greatest Words Ever Spoken, is a resource that will help you dig more in depth into the teachings of Jesus.  The book breaks down over 1900 statements of Jesus  and puts them into 200 categories.  The reader can pick a topic and spend days studying more in depth.

I would highly recommend The Greatest Words Ever Spoken  to every pastor.  It is an awesome tool, especially for those who preach sermon series.  Also this is a necessary book for every Sunday School teacher or dedicated student of the Word.

Book Review: Me, Myself and I AM

me-myself-and-i-am This an interesting type of book to say the least.  Most books are the written thoughts of the author.  Me, Myself and I Am, however, is different. This short hardback is a collection of questions for you to search inside and see what you are made of.  My first impression of this book is the author drawing the reader into writing an autobiography.

The questions are piercing.  They search the heart and it’s inadequacies, while yet piecing through the history of the reader’s life.  At times the reader feels stumped trying to recollect portion’s of one’s life, but in the end, you have a better understanding of what you are made of.  Me, Myself and I Am is a creative way to dig to the core of one’s life and let the I Am do a work. 

By the end of the book, the reader has a good understanding of their strengths, gifts and weaknesses.  They will also realize their weaknesses, hurts and shortcomings, all of which they can release to God and find freedom in these areas.

I enjoyed looking through these questions and searching my heart and life.  There is a disclaimer though, I have always enjoyed these types of exercises.  If you are not one to like to write or answer questions, this book is not for you.  If you enjoy evaluating your life and thinking through your history and answering questions, you will love Me, Myself and I Am.
