PRAISE FOR WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?
Whenever Jesus made a Great I Am statement, His friends were in awe, and His enemies wanted to stone Him, because those words were a clear declaration of deity. The I Ams are the jewels of Johns gospel, and Becky Harling does an excellent job of helping you see how to apply them to your real-life challenges.
