Product Review
Lotz treats issues ranging from hell to suffering, marriage(including some of her own struggles) to life-threatening illness (including her son's recent diagnosis with cancer). Still, some of Lotz's heart-warming stories are decidedly warmed-over (haven't we heard enough yet about World War II evangelical hero Corrie Ten Boom?). There is very little in this book that hasn't been said many, many times before--even some of the personal anecdotes have a curiously familiar ring to those versed in the stock stories of evangelical preaching.

Lotz is in some ways a thoroughly modern woman, so even as conventional a book as this makes for an interesting comparison to its devotional predecessors of a previous generation. Not only is Lotz pursuing a traditionally male career by preaching and running a growing para-church ministry; her life, and the lives of her assumed readers, betrays a busy sophistication that would have been puzzling to a generation of less "worldly" evangelicals.

Product Description


After two pressure-filled, life-changing years of professional exhaustion and personal turmoil, Anne Graham Lotz found herself with only one heart-cry, "Please, just give me Jesus." In this faith-inspiring book, she stares intently at the realities of life with her Savior. To those needing a fresh start, to those still searching for happiness, to those in need of forgiveness, to the suffering and the self-righteous alike, Jesus was, is, and will always be the answer.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Just Give Me Jesus (Hardcover) Among the many excellent analogies Mrs. Lotz draws from John's Gospel, I especially appreciated the life lessons drawn from Christ's first miracle -- turning water into wine at a marriage feast. Just as the wine at that feast disappeared glass by glass, so does love and zest for living quietly slip away in our own lives. Jesus Christ continues to work miracles in our day when we ask him to replace the "wine" in our own lives and refill us with joy and love. Mrs. Lotz is a master as seeing these valuable "life lessons" in every chapter of the book of John, on which her latest book, "Just Give Me Jesus," was based.
