SEMINOLE, Okla., Sept. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author Connie Elmore may not be an expert in theology and may have made her own deal of mistakes in her life. But this doesn't stop her from sharing this commentary on the spoken words of Jesus in the book of Matthew of the Holy Bible. She writes this to invigorate and inspire others to think and form their own comments; to encourage and motivate others to read the Holy Bible; and to push and lead others to take the journey of following Jesus. Her new book Follow is written to engage all Christians to be authentic followers of the Messiah.
Many people declare that they are Christians; and many Christians profess their faith in Jesus. But do they really follow Jesus? In this book, the author presents the verses in the book of Matthew. Accompanying these verses are Elmore's discerning comments, perceptive questions, and pensive thoughts. The important thing she wants to stress is one's acknowledgement and reaction to the spoken words of Jesus. She invites Christians to open their hearts, minds, and souls so they can fully follow the Messiah.
Elmore speaks of the invaluable and untapped treasure one finds in reading, understanding, and living the words of the Holy Bible. She avows, "This is an investment of a lifetime! The profits of the investment are what we are all looking for. The profits go on and on and on throughout eternity. The investment, also, will make the difference of your eternal fate, with or without Jesus. Think on these things. Jesus is love for us! Find it! It truly is your choice. Seek in the spoken words of Jesus: words of truth. It all fits prophecies years and years before Jesus was born became truth. Not making that investment will cost you EVERYTHING."
Follow is the author's way of sharing to the world that the very essence of being a Christian is living as true Christians by following the words and works of Jesus. This commentary is an insightful and thoughtful read for all who are interested to lead good and honest Christian lives. For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
