It walks believers through key theological concepts and shows how each can be lived out in daily life. Fix Your Eyes is an invitation to understand core doctrines of the Christian faith and apply them in our daily worship of God. How can we keep our theology from being mere head knowledge? How do we give our worship roots that will last? By fixing our eyes on God Himself-the object of our study and the object of our worship.
When we study the nature and character of God as revealed in his Word, we are invited to respond in the affectionate, obedient discipleship of worship. Worship should always be rooted in theology. Theology (our study and knowledge of God) should always lead to doxology (our worship of Him). The results are damaging: theology without worship is muted, stifled, and cold, and worship without theology is ungrounded, unrooted, and uninformed.
Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically-minded or worship-minded either thinking Christians or feeling Christians. The first English translation by Charles Timothy Brooks appeared in 1871. The story was translated into over 300 languages and dialects. Often they did not go to school and had to steal to survive. At that time many parents emigrated to America because of their poverty and left their children behind, who then had to manage on their own. With this picture story William Busch also criticized the conditions of his time. Many rhymes have become winged words in German. Max and Maurice appeared in October 1865 and is one of William Busch’s early works.
Die erste englische Übersetzung von Charles Timothy Brooks erschien 1871. Die Geschichte wurde in über 300 Sprachen und Dialekte übertragen. Häufig gingen sie nicht zur Schule und mussten stehlen, um zu überleben. Damals sind viele Eltern aufgrund ihrer Armut nach Amerika ausgewandert und ließen ihre Kinder zurück, die dann allein zurechtkommen mussten. Mit dieser Bildergeschichte kritisierte Wilhelm Busch auch die Zustände seiner Zeit. Viele Reime wie „Aber wehe, wehe, wehe! Wenn ich auf das Ende sehe!“, „Dieses war der erste Streich, doch der zweite folgt sogleich“ oder „Gott sei Dank! Nun ist’s vorbei mit der Übeltäterei!“ sind im Deutschen zu geflügelten Worten geworden. Max und Moritz erschien Ende Oktober 1865 und zählt zum Frühwerk von Wilhelm Busch.
