Product Description

▼▲

Christianity is about a relationship between ourselves and God. This book is about getting to know the essential Jesus-the Jesus who lived like us and called disciples, ordinary people who acted like we do, to follow him. Only by turning to God and letting God meet the needs of our human condition can our innermost longings be met.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Carol Anderson, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, California, has written an ideal introduction to the Christian faith, sharing key moments of her own life and telling the story of Jesus as it is foreshadowed in the Old Testament and presented in the Gospels. She powerfully points out that God is not remote, but personal and involved with His creation, wanting to know and love us. It is through Jesus that we can know God for ourselves without the distortion of New Age philosophy or even religious principles.

"This book is a gem. Knowing Jesus in Your Life is a first-class introduction to the Christian faith. Written in a relaxed, conversational style, the text is refreshingly devoid of theological jargon. Knowing Jesus in Your Life can be imaginatively used with individual seekers as well as with introductory courses, inquirers' classes and discipleship groups."
—Episcopal Teacher

"(Carol Anderson) adroitly illustrates Knowing Jesus in Your Life with her own testimony of the power derived from simply following the example of the blind man whose sight Jesus restored..."
