About the author
Ken Gire
83 books50 followersKen Gire is the author of more than 20 books, including "The Divine Embrace," "Windows of the Soul," "The Work of His Hands," the Moments with the Savior series, and the Reflective Life series. He has also co-authored "The Birthright" with John Sheasby. Two of his books have been awarded a Gold Medallion. A full-time writer and speaker, Ken is the founder of Reflective Living, a nonprofit ministry devoted to helping people learn how to slow down and live more reflective lives so they can experience life more deeply, especially life with God and other people. Ken is a graduate of Texas Christian University and Dallas Theological Seminary. He has four children and three grandchildren and lives near the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Monument, Colorado.
As a bestselling author, Ken speaks primarily on the subjects in the books he has written. In the past, he has spoken at such venues as Bill and Gloria Gaither's Praise Gathering, Billy Graham's Training Center---the Cove, Laity Lodge, Wind River Ranch, Young Life, as well as a variety of denominational and non-denominational churches. He has spoken in the church service itself but has mostly done church retreats. He is available to speak for large, public events as the keynote speaker or for smaller, more private events, such as leadership retreats. In all of his talks, Ken uses a variety of audio-visuals, such as film clips, and so the host would need to have the necessary equipment and someone to operate it. His messages can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the venue. Since most of his speaking topics are from the books Ken has written, you can get a greater feel for his talks by first getting the book from Amazon.com, which carries both his in-print and out-of-print books.

really good book. i ended up doing this as a devotional, one per day.
gire has a real gift to take you right into these major scenes from Jesus's life and make you consider the different emotions and thoughts of the moment. definitely brings the Bible to life and makes you think. each chapter ends with a prayer related to the issues brought up by that scene.

Loved this book. Ken Gire speaks to my soul when he writes, and I become a better person because of how he links nature and the Bible. Definitely on my list of books to read again.

December 6, 2016Amazing - Our Lord suffered so much for us and this book really helped me to see and feel what He went through. The book also brought His suffering into how it relates to today's world. Powerful reading for Lent or any time you need to reminded of our Savior's love for us.

I stumbled across this little book in a used bookstore and it instantly became a refreshing read for me. The work contained insightful renditions of 12 pivotal moments in the life of Jesus. Each of these reflections was broken down into three brief parts: the Scriptural text, a meditation and a prayer.
As the title indicates, the book calls the reader to a deeper understanding of the spiritual temperament/feelings of Jesus in these intense scenes. I thought that Gire combined historical and biblical analysis in a beautiful way and I came away more attached to the story of Jesus as He fulfilled the plan of redemption.

The stories in this book wrenched my heart in such wonderful ways! It taught me a lot about suffering and the hope we have in our Savior Jesus, Isaiah's Suffering Servant! This is a book you will want to take time to read in quiet places where you can sit and ruminate on the scripture stories. Loved it!
