Overview

What Life Is Meant to Be Like consists of twenty-five meditations on Scripture texts from the Revised Common Lectionary Year B. These meditations are also indexed by Scripture text to provide convenient access to the texts from the various Bible books. The index should be especially helpful if one is simply looking for a meditation on a specific Bible book or text. Ten of the meditations are from the Gospel of Mark, three are from the Gospel of John, five are from the Old Testament, and the remaining seven are from Acts, the Letters of Paul, Hebrews, and 1 John.
