Notes About The Author

A TRIBUTE TO JESUS AND HIS TEACHINGS

A t the age of sixty-six, my father, Samuel, an ordained church elder, was detained (family detention) for nine months due to an unfortunate, unintentional, obscure error in seeking continuous relief. He applied to his detention situation the teaching of Jesus: that people ought to pray. He made two collect phone calls, one in the morning and one in the evening, from his detention facility every day for the nine months he was detained, to pray with his family (my mother, Naomi; my brother, Stephen; and my sister, Jacqueline). He credits this as one of the things that helped him survive this traumatic, agonizing family detention experience.

Jesus has influenced or inspired me the most. At age six almost thirty years ago, my life’s perspective revolved around, helping my parent’s rear two pigs, raise a couple dozen chickens, herding three goats and a sheep. A transition to education, learning or even writing about Jesus’s seminal teachings and leadership was unimaginable. Jesus is the leader who gives voice and good news (Luke 4:18) to the poor.

Reviews for A Preview of Jesus’S Seminal Teachings and Leadership

[mypennameonly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I actually won a KINDLE copy of this book from the author through a giveaway he had here on Amazon.com and the following is my honest opinion.What the author, Isaac Kinuthia, has done here in this book has been to give readers, whether they’re ardent Bible pupils or even inquiring individuals a better perception of Jesus’s fundamental messages for anyone who’s seeking to attain what he’s promised through his demise and ultimate rebirth.The author achieves this through the numerous references to the Bible, covering a myriad of topics including, but not limited to life’s holiness, the strength of one’s invocation to his greatest, Satan’s tests attempting for us to lose our goodness, and naturally the return of the Lord’s presence here on Earth provided they listen and adhere to his messages.Given the above, how can anyone not give the 5 STARS I’ve given Mr. Kinuthia for his forthright endeavor here.
