"I saw you while you were still under the fig tree"
In Hebrew thinking, sitting under the fig tree was a time of quiet prayer and reflection. When Nathanael first meets Jesus, Jesus says that He saw Nathanael while he was still under the fig tree. There, it seems, Nathanael was pondering the exciting times and the significance of this Jesus.
In this book, Les Stewart invites you to do the same. He invites you to "come under the fig tree" for reflection on the scriptures. In a mix of Old and New Testament books, Under the Fig Tree takes you through the scriptures with expository comments on the text for every day of the calendar year. Each day there is a devotional application to daily life and a reflection on the day's reading.
If you desire to dig deeply into the work of God and to understand it, not just in context but for everyday life, then come under the fig tree and reflect awhile.
Under the Fig Tree is in the following collections:
