"Christ Above All The book of Colossians"
Today there are thousands of ideas about the person of Jesus Christ, but only one Book has it right—the Bible.
In Colossians, the Lord led the apostle Paul to paint one of the most vivid portraits of Jesus Christ in all of Scripture in order to help us believers understand that Christ is above all and superior to any belief system promoted by any false voices. In this new book by Dr. Jeremiah, Christ Above All, he goes verse by verse through Colossians to help you come to better know who Jesus is theologically and how to live in light of this.

About the author
David Jeremiah
800 books871 followersDr. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, felt God’s calling on his life at a very early age. Born February 13, 1941 in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Jeremiah was raised in a family deeply committed to ministry. At the age of eleven, Dr. Jeremiah and his family moved to Dayton, Ohio where his father, Dr. James T. Jeremiah, was the Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and in 1953 became the President of Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio.
As Dr. Jeremiah was sensitive to God’s leading in his life, he followed in his father’s footsteps. In 1963, Dr. Jeremiah received a Bachelor of Arts from Cedarville College. In that same year, Dr. Jeremiah married his college sweetheart, Donna Thompson who also was attending Cedarville College as a business major. He went on to earn a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1967. He completed additional graduate work at Grace University and was granted the Doctor of Divinity degree from Cedarville College in 1981.
In 1969, Dr. Jeremiah began Blackhawk Baptist Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed a Christian school grades K through 12. In the 12 years he served as pastor, Blackhawk Baptist Church grew from 7 families to 1300 members. He also launched The Bible Hour television program.
Dr. Jeremiah heeded God’s call, and in 1981 he and his family moved to California where he became the senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, now Shadow Mountain Community Church.
Shadow Mountain Community Church is one of the largest churches in San Diego County. It is also the home of Southern California Seminary and Christian Unified Schools.
As Dr. Jeremiah began his ministry at Shadow Mountain, he felt God’s calling to continue the broadcast ministry he started in Fort Wayne. In 1982, Turning Point Ministries became a reality.
Today, Turning Point's 30-minute radio program is heard nationally and internationally on over 1800 stations and translator/satellators. In recognition of Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to teaching the Word of God, he received the Broadcaster of the Year Award in 1999 from the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), in August 2002, received the Award of Merit from the Western Chapter of National Religious Broadcasters for Excellence in Broadcasting and Faithfulness in Service, and in 2006 Turning Point received the Best Radio Teaching Program Award. Dr. Jeremiah has served on the Board of Directors for the NRB since 1996.
Turning Point launched a television program in 1982 in San Diego and went nationwide in 2000. Now seen around the world through cable and satellite technology, as well as on terrestrial stations all across the United States, conservative estimates suggest that close to 200 million homes around the world have access to Dr. Jeremiah's Bible teaching each week. Turning Point Television offers a half-hour Bible study message and a full hour worship service with the same great preaching. Carried on several national and international networks such as TBN, ION, and INSP, Turning Point Television has most recently been added to Middle East TV Network and BET, the Black Entertainment Network.
Dr. Jeremiah is a sought-after conference speaker for organizations around the country. He frequently speaks at Cedarville College, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible Institute, Billy Graham Training Center, Phil Waldrep’s Senior Adult Celebrations and numerous NFL, NBA and Baseball chapels.
Along with his speaking schedule around the country, Dr. Jeremiah also finds time to fulfill another passion in his life, writing. His books are always gripping and right to the point. Some of his books include Escape the Coming Night, The Power of Encouragement, What the Bible Says About Angels, Prayer The Great Adventure, which brought him The Gold Medallion Award in 1998, God In You, Gifts from God

This book really opened my eyes to how to be more like Jesus! We are take off certain ways of being (sexual immorality , jealously, gossiping) like an old pair of clothes and out in the garments of Jesus (kindness, compassion, gentleness) This is how I want to walk as a Christian!
I learned how to interact in relationships and how to treat others! Through this book, I reflected on how grateful I am for my friends!
Praise God!

I used this book and the study guide to lead a series of lessons with my work bible study group. David Jeremiah had a really great breakdown, quotes, and study questions available for each set of verses in Colossians.
Pros: great for leading small group bible studies.
Cons: too many stories in places that didn't add a whole lot of value to the verses.
Bottom line: really great walk-through of the Book of Colossians.

Such a good book. I tried at first to take it a chapter at a time but I found myself becoming distracted and not keeping up with the plan.
I took the teaching very personally and the study questions at the back helped to open the chapter up even further.

It was very good, another enlightening writing of David Jeremiah. The best chapter was the last, being a friend and having friends make life brighter

This book was a good commentary for Colossians. Dr. Jeremiah's chapters work expositorialy through the book of Colossians.
