<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>I have absolutely fallen in love with Dr. Luke! This dear, humble companion of Paul is a giant of a man, both in his account of Jesus, as well as that of the early church in the book of Acts! </p><p>This most enlightening translation will have a massive impact on people's understanding of vital chapters that have confused many for centuries!</p><p>Listen to the Lord's prayer like you've never heard it before!</p><p><strong>Luke 11:4 Oh, that we may discover our innocence by realizing the completeness of the forgiveness of our sins! Now, everyone indebted to us may also know that we have fully released them from their obligations to us! Father, you know us inside-out! Free us thoroughly from any hidden alliance with the old system of performance-based living! </strong><em>("Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil!" This sounds like God had temptation on today's agenda for you, but if you pray this prayer, then maybe he'll change his mind! 'To lead' in this sentence is the Greek word </em><strong><em>eisphero</em></strong><em>, to carry inward, to reach within; and temptation is the word </em><strong><em>peiratzo</em></strong><em>, to test thru piercing, to examine closely, from </em><strong><em>peira</em></strong><em>, to pierce; a test to determine the hidden value of something; also from the word </em><strong><em>peras</em></strong><em>, which speaks of extremity or the furthest boundary. James 1:13 says clearly that God tempts no one. "Do not say, "I am scrutinized by God" when you feel enticed. He is not in the teasing business; evil offers no attraction to God for God to be tempted by it, neither is he experimenting with your design! [God cannot be both the source of light and darkness. Every temptation is an attempt of darkness to intercept light. James 1:17.] </em></p><p><em>The deliverance from evil, </em><strong><em>poneros</em></strong><em>, is the intent of this sentence, that hidden alignments to the law of works will not be found within me, giving evil a foothold as it were. The word </em><strong><em>poneros</em></strong><em>, translated, evil, means full of hardships, annoyances and labors! Sounds like the wrong tree to me!)</em></p><p><br></p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Reflecting on any translation of Scripture gives one the opportunity to hear our Maker's voice and thoughts, filtered through the interpretation and language of the translator(s).</p><p>In this fresh Paraphrase, Francois du Toit has opened the curtain for readers of any age, culture or language to enjoy amazing insights into the heartbeat of <strong><em>Agape</em></strong> - where everyone feels equally loved, included and valued in the eyes of the Father - and fully redeemed in the union we come from! The Mirror underlines the fact that we did not merely begin in our mother's womb; we are the invention and idea of God!</p><p><em>Archbishop </em><strong>DESMOND TUTU</strong><em> - Legacy Foundation</em></p><p><br></p><p>Francois' love for the text, his sheer exegetical courage and his astonishing ability to express essential biblical pre-suppositions in the intimate Love language of God, has opened for Judith and me a renewed and transformative biblical understanding.</p><p><strong>BOB </strong>and<strong> JUDITH MUMFORD</strong> - www.lifechangers.org</p><p><br></p><p>In a world where Bible translations and paraphrases are ubiquitous, <em>The Mirror Study Bible</em> is uniquely beautiful and helpful! Submitted to the original texts and the abiding guidance of the Holy Spirit, Francois du Toit carefully and meticulously opens and explores the treasures of Scripture. Not only does it satisfy the demands of the intellect, but it overwhelms the heart. </p><p><strong>WM</strong> <strong>PAUL YOUNG</strong> - <em>Author of The Shack</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The Mirror Translation </em>is astonishingly beautiful. The union theme is outstanding. </p><p>The early followers of Jesus knew that he was the center of all creation, the plan from the beginning, the alpha and the omega, the author and finisher of faith. They wrestled deeply with these questions and the staggering implications of Jesus's very identity. They handed down clear and powerful and very relevant insights and answers. Francois has met the Jesus of the Apostles, and through his wrestling with their light, is providing for us all a paraphrase of their work that is as thrilling as it is beautiful and true. </p><p>My imagination ignites reading your translation. What a beautiful, breathtaking translation. This is brilliant, and destined to relieve and liberate many. You sing the Father's heart, my brother. May the Holy Spirit continue to use the Mirror to reveal Jesus and his Father and us all around this world! I love it.</p><p>This is so beautiful! Poetic and profound. </p><p><strong>DR. C. BAXTER KRUGER</strong><em> Author of "The Great Dance" and "The Shack Revisited" </em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
