The Hungry Inherit : Winning the Wealth of the World to Come

by Zane C. Hodges

Take a trip to the Holy Land. Get inside the head of the major actors in the greatest story ever told. See, hear and feel what the disciples did as they listened to the master Teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ. Above all learn the difference between the living water of eternal life and the heavenly food of obedience to God. Written like a novel, The Hungry Inherit recreates the historical backdrop of the New Testament while expounding some of its most difficult passages, like the parable of the soils, the text on saving and losing our life, and James' teaching on living faith.

[Danny Bennett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Zane Hodges is quickly becoming one of my favorite theologians and authors. In this book, he writes in a very easy going style, revealing the bible in a storytelling format. His first exposition of the woman at the well in the first chapter was really well done and I think if I ever have to preach on that passage I'll just read that chapter. The book is really about, in a very simple manner, distinguishing between justification and sanctification. The thirsty live, the hungry inherit is a way of holding the free grace perspective and showing how works as a Christian benefit the believer without including those works as essential for salvation.

An amazing and accurate perspective between salvation and eternal rewards, between those whom enter the Kingdom from those who will actually reign with Christ.

Tried again and finished it.

Didn’t like it…it didn’t sink in. Didn’t finish.
