Title: A guide to developing a closer relationship with Jesus
Review: Written by Jackie L. Smallbones (an associate professor of religion and Christian education, who has taught biblical studies for more than twenty years in her native South Africa and the United States), Keeping Company With Jesus: Reflections on Gospel Stories is a straightforward guide to developing a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. The author's navigated rough times in her life, including dealing with unemployment and breast cancer, by holding fast to the words of Jesus and reflecting on his love, and the suffering he endured for all of humankind. Each chapter reflects upon a specific passage of the gospels, and a different aspect of how keeping company with Jesus affects both one's worldly and spiritual life. Questions for reflection and discussion round out this thoughtful work of love, reverence, and devotion.
