by James Bryan Smith

Words are powerful.  They contain ideas and shape the way we see God, ourselves and all of reality. We're transformed, in particular, by God's Word, and by "the Word, the Logos--Jesus himself--as described by John in the first chapter of his Gospel.  Memorizing and studying a passage in depth can offer a deeper sense of the meaning of each word.  In this unique introduction to the hidden life in Christ, James Bryan Smith walks readers through a thirty-day immersion in Colossians 3:1-17.  Each of the thirty short chapters of this book bring out the main truth of just one word or phrase of this rich passage.  You'll also find a very simple daily practice to take up, reflection questions and a guide for five weeks of group discussion.
