Encounters with Jesus

Swindoll decided to reread the life of Jesus as presented in the New Testament looking for a better understanding of how Jesus treated other people, the various ways that Jesus used to lead each individual to a discovery of what was in his own heart as well as what God wanted to do in that person’s life. He would need to carefully consider every spoken word as well as every moment of silence. He would need to evaluate Jesus’ reactions in every circumstance. He would need to ask questions: What was Jesus trying to accomplish when he asked questions? What motivated Jesus in each situation?
In the preface the author says that these months of study were very fruitful, one of the most illuminating and instructive experiences of his many years of ministry. In this work he shares the result of these experiences with the reader.
