Dr. Shoemaker’s latest book

What a joy it is to announce that “Seekers, Sinners and Saints” is now available! Here’s what publisher Judson Press has to say about the Dr. Shoemaker’s latest publication:

The stories of Jesus’ life-changing interactions with
others in the Gospels are familiar to many of us.
But, how can these stories truly transform our lives
today?
Seekers, Saints, and Sinners examines 11 personal
encounters between Jesus and other people in the
Gospels to help deepen our understanding and expand our experience of Jesus in our lives.

Delve into the detail and significance of the conversations, environments, and responses—of both Jesus and the other individual—and meet Jesus anew in the
life of each character and in your own life today.

Through the 10 beautifully written chapters of Seekers, Saints and Sinners,
Shoemaker tells of Jesus’ one-time, chance encounters with 11  individuals
from the Gospel narratives. Built on a foundation of solid scholarship, the book is a
profound and comprehensive New Testament Bible study on the significance of
Jesus’ conversations, including the historical and literary context.
In addition, inspirational insight allows a reader to meet Jesus anew in the life of featured scriptural figures as well as to bring those encounters home to meet the living Christ in his or her own life today.
Ideal for personal or small-group study, the book includes a guide to enhance reflection and discussion.

In the introduction of this lively and very readable book, Dr. Shoemaker, quoting Martin Buber, says “All real living is meeting”. He hopes that within its pages, be we Seekers, Saints or Sinners (and as Dr. Shoemaker jokes, that’s just about all of us) will meet Jesus in a new and life-giving way.

The book is available for sale at Judson Press for $11.99 plus shipping and will soon be available on  Amazon.
