Book Description
When the big challenges of life come our way, so often we get discouraged, shut down, and give up. Instead of feeling discouraged, we need to turn to the Bible for encouragement. In this book, Frampton Paul takes the reader on an exploration of the famous story of Zacchaeus, the Jewish tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree in the midst of a busy crowd to get a better view of Jesus Christ, who was visiting Jericho during His years of ministry. Like many of us today, Zacchaeus had a goal that he wanted to achieve, but to get to achieve it he first had to face down some big challenges. The good news is that challenges always come our way just before we experience our greatest moments of change. By drawing insights from this inspirational Bible story, Frampton Paul shows us the way to experience God’s best.
