What wonderful book! Yet another in Ravi's "Great Conversations" series. In this imagined conversation between Jesus, Oscar Wilde, and Blaise Pascal, Ravi addresses so many things that are relevant to us today. I have listed an excerpt below for your perusal and edification! Thanks again for reading!

"I walk these streets every night because this is where life's biggest mistakes are made. And this is where the most wounded and hurting spirits walk in shells of bodies-the living dead. This is where they begin to forcibly separate what I have joined together. They're like men walking to their graves in the dark, blinded by these colored lights...to the sepulchers they are being dragged by the seducers of their imagination. They call these the streets of pleasure. How untrue! How deceitful! How destructive! I hear more screams from here at daybreak than I do from beds of sickness." - Jesus

Sunday - Krishna & Christ

Today is a day of rest...so I will rest from the politics for today. I read a good book this week. It reminded me yet again of the amazing simplicity of the Gospel. The book was "New Birth or Rebirth," by Ravi Zacharias. Primarily it was a discussion of the opposing points of Hinduism's Krishna and the Christ of the Bible. Even if one knows little of Hinduism, it is fairly easy to pick up on the points Ravi is making. And it is easy to see yet again the power of the simple Gospel that presents so simply the perspective, the problem, and the solution for all mankind. The older I get, the more I appreciate the way, the truth, and the life of Christ. I encourage all who question the relevancy of the Gospel or who are interested in the challenges of eastern religions to tackle this book and honestly consider its perspectives. Have a restful and Christ honoring Sunday!
