Before the Ministry of Jesus really began, He had to select His twelve disciples. Two of John the Baptist's followers decided to follow Jesus. The first question Jesus asks is, "What do you seek?" (John 1:38). His reply to their answer "Come and you will see" (John 1:39). I would like to invite you the reader to come with me on a journey that will take one year and a day. This book was originally written for my wife Charise. This way she could have a daily word, scripture and a short illustration combining them both. The word come, the verb, advancement, approaching, to make progress. My hope is that this book will be just a little help one day at a time for you the reader. There were two men on their way to Emmaus, Jesus approached them and began walking with them. I take a little liberty now, thus the name of the book: Come, take My hand and walk with Me awhile, and I'll explain a few things to you (Luke 24:27). My hope is that after we have walked with Him awhile, it will turn into forever.
