The phrase "It is a God thing" is often used today. Karen says she senses God''s presence daily but doesn''t regularly use that phrase. With this book, however, she is deeply aware that it really is a God thing from beginning to end starting back in 1968 when she was a new child of God and received a Bible with the J. B. Phillips paraphrase. She wanted to read of Jesus'' daily activities but could only combine the Scriptures for each activity. She didn''t know how to put them in chronological order until discovering her husband''s Harmony of the Gospels book. She has combined the Gospels and put them in chronological order and hopes it will be helpful to others. Each activity of Jesus is titled with the exact Scripture written below the title for further research if one wishes. All Scriptures are printed in color to make it easy to know which apostle is talking as well as easily see which of the four apostles have written about the same incident. Any quotes the apostles use from the Old Testament is in yet a different color with its reference included. When more than one apostle tells the same story but remembers it differently, a slash (/) is used, and both are included in the text. There is a table of contents for each of the apostle''s book and a table of contents for each activity.
