This book is absolutely engaging and amazing. Chapter 7 was so remarkable. Jeremiah's personality and his experiences in life truly can help us to cope with our problems. I have this chapter marked as to read and read again. Chapter 8 is especially encouraging for our single friends who have chosen to remain single or childless in order to have other priorities in life. The pictures are wonderful and the modern day ones are truly unique in that they seem to carry thru the entire book.

Love the info and pictures!

[Kenneth · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is surprisingly, very introspective, comparing modern day Christians to Jeremiah's role in his day.
It asks two questions of the reader, "How do Jeremiah's writings relate to people today?" and "What lessons can you find in the book of Jeremiah"?

“‘For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity,a to give you a future and a hope."..Jeremiah 29:11
Yes, this is a book of hope.

"'I shall without fail furnish you an escape, and by the sword you will not fall; and you will certainly come to have your soul as a spoil, because you have trusted in me,' is the utterance of Jehovah." Jer. 39:18

Mientras leía el libro de Jeremías (biblia) este libro fue un increíble apoyo para entender mejor, contexto, tiempo y las profecías descritas en el libro. El mensaje de esperanza que deja aunque parezca un libro amenazador, fue muy provechoso para entender mejor.

The last chapter gave me just what I needed to hear at the right time.”Do not be afraid”

El libro nos ayuda a ver que, así como en el pasado, cada palabra de Dios se cumplió; en el presente y futuro, también se realizará sin falta. Y es que las palabras de Jeremías también tienen un cumplimiento en nuestros días , ya que hoy también se adora a dioses falsos y el ser humano se comporta tan libertinamente y tan cruelmente, como si pensara que Jehová no pudiera vernos. Por lo tanto, el ejemplo de Jeremías nos muestra que Dios sí está anuente a lo que ocurre en la tierra, van a suceder grandes cambios y si somos sabios, nos ajustaremos a sus mandatos ahora que nos da la oportunidad. La paciencia que tiene con nosotros es muestra de su amor y da valor y fuerzas a cada siervo fiel, para estar a la altura de la situación por más dura que parezca. Como Jeremías, debemos confiar en él y obedecer.

A wonderful book which lays out the prophecies and life of Jeremiah in a simple and chronological order. Jeremiah was a man who felt he was too young to carry out the commission Jehovah gave him, but with holy spirit from God, the prophet spoke in a straight-forward manner to the Ancient Israelites. His example for us today has vast effect on each.

[Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful book. It describes the life and prophesies of Jeremiah. It shows parallels between his preaching work and the modern day work of Jehovah's Witnesses. Seeing how Jehovah cared for Jeremiah during that trying time, comforts today's witnesses who face similar challenges.
