Description: In 1995, Laurie Beth Jones released Jesus CEO, the first book in a trilogy that traces her own journey from well-pressed executive through a season of personal self- examination, ending finally in blue jeans, having found her heart's true home. The Path is the second book and helps readers identify their divine purpose in life. Her final book, Jesus in Blue Jeans, answers a request: "Could you write a book that could help me with my everyday life?" Beginning with the proposition that Jesus had an everyday life, Laurie Beth Jones explores the four fundamental qualities of Jesus that we can emulate in our everyday lives: poise, perspective, passion, and power. We investigate the everyday challenges common to all of us, using Jesus' life as our model. Each chapter includes a meditation and teaching, and closes with question to challenge and motivate us. She doesn't intend that we remain passive spectators, rather that we embrace life and participate fully. Jones has a special gift for presenting the teachings of Jesus in ways that are at once practical and transcendent. By writing about subjects that are familiar to all of us, she makes us comfortable with exploring this unfamiliar ground. Once we feel safe, she quietly steps aside, shifting our attention from our own anxieties to the wisdom of Jesus. The result is an openness and receptivity that might not have been possible for us before. Jones removes Jesus from theology without sacrificing her own belief. Her love for God is evident and her life seems to overflow with love, enthusiasm, and joy. Moreover, she builds within the reader a curiosity or hunger that goes well beyond the covers of this book, giving the reader the incentive to explore Jesus for him- or herself, so that each experiences the grandeur of life. --Patricia Klein

Review Summary: WONDERFUL BOOK! |
Date: 2008-12-23 |
|
| |
Details: This is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE books... it is beautifully written and truly inspiring!
There are 4 main chapters... Poise, Perspective, Passion, Power. Each has 13-18 sub-topics that are written in a devotional-like format. After 2-4 pages of inspiring, informative, and enlightening reading, the author asks a few questions that relate the passage to your life and ends with a "power connecton" (a short prayer asking God to apply the discussed truths to our lives)- This book has very good applications to daily life.
I have read this book several times, referred to it often, and purchased many copies to give as gifts to friends. There aren't words to express how encouraging and enlightening this book has been for me! |

Details: It helps me to see Jesus' common life in the other side of a fence where the other side is His business life. It opens my eyes to balance my whole life at home as well as at work. It is recommended if you want to know the balance life in both sides. :-) |

Details: I was quite thrilled to find this, and I literally had no idea that such subject matter existed. I stumbled upon this book by chance, and I am now quite glad I did. I can rest much easier at night with the knowledge that our Lord and Savior prefers the 80's throwback of Acid-Washed jeans from Levi's. I'm so glad to hear that. I always knew that He would never go for that blasphemous Calvin Klein. Amen and enjoy. |

Review Summary: Life Application |

Details: Many times in Bible studies and in associated books theology bogs down the particpants and distants them from understanding where the Lord Jesus is in everyday life. If you need pure "study", this book is not for you. However, if you've been through the studies of Scripture and need time to reflect upon your everyday walk, this book is divine. Very simple written - short paragraphs, each ending with prayer and reflection. I had bought my wife the book "Jesus as CEO", after she received a promotion to a management position where she works. She loved the book, which she still uses today as a tool in working with her fellow employees. Jesus In Bluejeans is very similar - a tool which can be used for personal reflection of your walk with Jesus. Enjoy!!! |
