The Jesus Code (The Code Series)
Jesus gets attention not with exclamation marks, but with question marks.
Jesus was always asking questions. Whether with a small group or large crowd, Jesus opened hearts and minds by asking questions that grasped attention and made one think. In The Jesus Code, author O. S. Hawkins poses fifty-two thought-provoking questions found throughout the Bible that believers should be able to answer as they grow in their faith and share their faith with others. Each question features a devotional thought to help readers find answers and promote further reflection.
Sample questions include:
- What does the Lord require of you?
- Where can I go from Your Spirit?
- Who is my neighbor?
- What is your life? A vapor that appears and vanishes away?
- Why do you seek the living among the dead?
- Will a man rob God?
As with The Joshua Code, all royalties will go to Mission:Dignity, whose mission supports retired pastors and their wives (or widows) living near poverty level.

A thinking book
I enjoyed this book totally. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more and grow spiritually. Thank you Lord
Weekly devotionals inspiring deep discussions of faith
We love this book as a family deep in the Christian faith. My wife reads it once a week on Sunday evening to the kids, giving us some thought-provoking discussions of faith. Some of the words (and topics) are a bit heavy for a younger audience. We decided to skip a couple of them until the kids are older. The book doesn't pull any punches, which is what makes it such a strong book. But let's face it, the Bible isn't exactly always 'family friendly'.
Increase your Relationship with God
Poignant questions help you confront your own fears, doubts, and weaknesses. I had never read anything by O.S. Hawkins and was impressed with his direct, informative and humorous approach. This book is well worth reading. I'm even taking notes there is so much to learn.
Excellent book by great Author!
O.S. Hawkins has the gift of writing excellent books! This one is no exception. So good as each chapter is a complete thought...so wonderful for daily devotions. AND can be read over and over for fresh spiritual challenges....be sure to read his other books as well!
Beautiful binding, great read!
Beautifully bound hard backed book! Great read!
Good Reading
I'm so happy to have come across all of these books. They are easy to read, but have the best messages about our Lord. I have 4 of the books by the author.
The Jesus Code
This is a great book for questions that Jesus may ask. Very informative book.
Highly recommend!!
The Jesus Code is very very good!! I have learned so much from it! I use it as my bible study daily and can't wait to go to the next one the next day! Dr. O. S. Hawkins explanations are in depth but easy to understand. I am constantly saying Wow to myself after I study a particular question. I recommend The Jesus Code to anyone who wants to get closer to the Lord by getting into His Word with this outstanding tool.
The Biblical ruminations sound like transcripts of some of Hawkins' sermons
My Bible study group is using this as our lesson plan. We've only gone through a couple lessons before this review link showed up in my email, so I'm not very well acquainted with its contents. But it seems to be doing its job fairly well. The Biblical ruminations sound like transcripts of some of Hawkins' sermons. Which is not to say that they're bad or pedantic, but rather that they're short (2-3 pages ea.), and tend to read a little strangely sometimes (but sound much better if spoken).
Good Bible study!
I am enjoying it because it is a very good study tool for learning and reading more of the Bible. The wisdom contained in it is worth all of the time and effort put into the study and I am thankful for it. I hope that anyone who reads this will get the same wisdom from it as I did.
