Born From Above

About this book

One night, a respected religious leader named Nicodemus came to Jesus with questions. Instead of answers, he received a startling truth: no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born from above.Born From Above: Nicodemus Meets Jesus explores that nighttime conversation in John 3 phrase by phrase, unpacking its deep teachings for life today: being born of water and Spirit, the Spirit that blows like the wind, Jesus coming from heaven, and the Son of Man being lifted up on a cross.Drawing on a lifetime of church services, Bible studies, and gospel meetings, David Joel Lunsford identifies with Nicodemus and the struggle of someone with a strong religious background confronted by the truth about Jesus. This book exposes the trap of religion and its rule keeping, and points to the freedom God offers through a complete change of heart that only He can bring about.Written with limited "religious speak" for readers of any Bible background, each short chapter includes personal stories and closes with a reflective Bible passage to encourage personal reflection and growth.
