The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

What would happen if one day the Lord said to you, "I need you to dedicate yourself to a year of doing what I say, when I say it, and I want you to journal about your experience as you go through it"? Would you think that you were hearing things or maybe God could not possibly be making this kind of request of you? Would you run toward or away from this spiritually divine opportunity? Well, this is exactly what happened to me. One very ordinary day, the Lord spoke to my spirit in an extraordinary way and asked me to commit my daily life to Him to do what He says, eat what and when He says, wake and sleep when He says, read my Bible, and pray constantly and daily. Another major component of this request was for me to honestly journal my experience (the good, the bad, and the ugly or, better yet, the great, the revealing, and the humbling), and without the slightest hesitation, I said, "Yes, Lord!" Journaling with Jesus is a close and personal written journey of what happens when you submit to a year of-what I like to call-VIP status with the Lord. Come along with me as I walk, talk, and experience the Lord, up close and personal. Imagine sitting at the feet of our Savior as He pours into you His wisdom, His power, and, most of all, His love. After reading these journal entries, you too will be ready and willing to say yes to VIP status with the Lord, without any hesitation.

You are the author of The Jesus Passages, a study guide and journal tracing the chronological events in the life of Christ as found in the Bible. Broken into three simple sections, The Jesus Passages reveals how Jesus lived, loved, and dealt with social issues. It challenges you with comments and questions from the author, then sets you free to write what the passages are saying to you. Sharpen your pencil and open up the book-there is so much God wants to teach you in The Jesus Passages. You will appreciate having your thoughts on paper to review and look back on later in life. Your family will enjoy reading your thoughts to learn what Jesus spoke to you during your studies and they'll treasure passing your journal on through the generations. Author and pastor Ron Gannet (Community Church at SaddleBrooke, near Tuscon, AZ) has been preaching and teaching for almost forty years in Texas, Canada, Alabama, and Arizona. Over the years he has discovered that people have more passion for truth if they discover it themselves. So he compiled this study to unleash the thirst many people have to know Jesus personally. Whether used as an individual study, family devotion, or in a small group setting, you will gain fresh insight into topics such as forgiveness, money, family, relationships, facing criticism, and more. Many people claim the Christian faith but have never taken time to know Jesus and His story. Study the verses. Allow the Lord to speak to you. Write down what He says, and see how Jesus speaks into your life and empowers you each day.

"The Diary of Jesus Christ is a bold attempt to understand the person whom in excess of two billion people claim as their savior. These entries are not a gospel; they are something far more personal-not a third-, but a first-person account of the life of Jesus Christ"--
