Baker Books How Jesus can Make Your Impossible Possible: The Grave Robber (Student Edition)

Summary of Key Themes

The book is structured around the seven miraculous signs found in the Gospel of John: 

• The Seven Signs: Batterson expounds on each miracle—such as turning water into wine, healing the sick, and walking on water—to show how they reveal different dimensions of Jesus’ power.
• The Raising of Lazarus: The title specifically refers to the seventh sign, the resurrection of Lazarus, portraying Jesus as the "Grave Robber" who reclaims what has been taken by death or despair.
• Modern Miracles: Alongside biblical accounts, the book includes true stories of contemporary people experiencing miraculous events to build the reader's faith.
• A Call to Seek Jesus: Batterson cautions readers not to simply seek miracles for their own sake but to follow Jesus; he suggests that miracles naturally follow those who follow Him. 

Structure

The book typically consists of short, engaging chapters (often around 25 in the standard edition) that blend personal anecdotes, scientific facts, and biblical exposition.
