Also included are inspirational quotations, memory verses, and introspective questions for readers to contemplate and pray about. Serving as Jesus Served answers the question posed by many earnest “How do I best serve Jesus in a world so hostile to my faith?”

How can we show love to a world that doesn’t seem to want it? In Serving as Jesus Served, Michele Howe helps with practical ways to love others.
Serving Others
This short devotional book is a look at our Savior and how he gave himself to serving others. Howe frames our service in love, and she gives Biblical support to all of her points.
I was most moved to see how we can serve others by showing grace. Howe points out that the home is where character is built or destroyed, and we as parents can do our part to respond to our children in love.
Learn to Love
Being clear with our children about how we can show love to each other is a practical step I hope to take in my home, and I am eager to see how extending God’s grace can go a long way.
Serving others is Christ’s call to Christians in the world. This book will help you leave a lasting impact at home and in the world as you learn to love as Jesus does.

Michele Howe invites readers to a life of service, and Serving as Jesus Served is a field guide for those in search of practical ways to put love into action.
Each chapter begins with a contemporary story that answers the question, “What does it look like to love others well?” Supported by a Scripture passage and a relevant quotation, Howe’s takeaway action thought and prayer of confession lead naturally to her call to action. The book’s strength is its specificity, for it lays out a day-by-day description of incremental tasks designed to strengthen our serving muscles and transform good intentions into good works.
Readers will discover that mindset and motive play a key role in our effectiveness as a servant. With Jesus as our role model, “service isn’t an optional choice. It’s simple obedience.”
Many thanks to Hendrickson Publishers for providing a copy of this book to facilitate my review, which is, of course, offered freely and with honesty.
