Come Closer
A Call to Life, Love and Breakfast on the Beach ubtitle
by Jane Rubietta
Jane Rubietta has taken fifteen of what she call
“come” passages from the scripture and has written an informative
and uplifting book about the times that Jesus has asked people to
come into his life.
Rubietta begins each chapter with a “come” passage.
For example, the first chapter is headlined with this quote: “I
come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” (
John 10:10) She then quotes famous people who have used some form
of the word. For example, a line from William Kirkpatrick is used
for the first chapter and begins, “ I'll trust thy love, Lord, I'm
coming home."
Rubietta uses experiences from her own life and
others' to illustrate the meaning of the passage. She closes each
chapter with a poem (which I assume is her own), followed by another
“come” passage, a study list, and another poem.
Basically,
each chapter is constructed on this format, but it works, as the
stories, poems and passage make the meanings of the passages more
meaningful and applicable to day-to-day life. The book is an invigorating
read.
