An Elephant's Swimming Pool

Augustine once said, "The Gospel of John is deep enough for an elephant to swim and shallow enough for a child not to drown."

Hence, the title: An Elephant's Swimming Pool.

So rather than envisioning an elephant doing a ten-point dive into a very large swimming pool, see instead a book that is deep in insight and saturated with unique approaches to help us take a new look at the Gospel of John. Malcolm Cox from London, England, has poured out his heart in this book to help us better understand the heart of the apostle John, and ultimately the heart of God and his One and ONLY Son Jesus.

Author Malcolm Cox is a minister and teacher for the North-West London Christian Church and has also worked for churches in Manchester and Birmingham over the past few years. He has a degree in music and is pursuing a degree in theology at the London School of Theology. He and his wife, Penny, have been married for more than 20 years and have two college-age children.

In this book, Cox shares a devotional thought on each of the 21 chapters in the Gospel.

Writing with insight and wry humor, he brings us a fresh look at the Gospel written by "the one that Jesus loved."

Good for seekers and longtime Christians just as is the Gospel of John itself

Unique in that it employs a scholarly, yet personal, devotional approach that brings the passages alive neither an exhaustive commentary or a sequential workbook as many other books on John are

Lively writing style with some quirky British humor

Short chapters that are great for daily devotional reading

Includes questions at the end of each chapter to help the ready personally apply the truths he/she has read

An Elephant's Swimming Pool is a great book to start out 2007 with. There is no greater focus than John's presentation of Jesus, his Lord and Savior and Friend.
