This book was a little disappointing. I expected more about the places Jesus went to and a little more in depth understanding of His message. This was very elemental. The prayers at the end of each chapter were helpful, but there needed to be more substance.

Beginning with Matthew
A great book to help you to begin to pray with the Gospels. This book helps you to understand Matthew and also helps you to draw closer to God.
