Simply Jesus and You

This little book contains so many good thoughts. I have enjoyed it very much, in fact, I read it before I bought it, and knew it was a book I would want to keep, so I can reread it often.

Challenging

This is a very short but powerful book that tells how to know Jesus better. It made me re-evaluate my relationship to Jesus and it is very inspirational and Biblically sound. I recommend it to anyone who wants a close relationship with Jesus Christ. --Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"

Amazing book!!!!

I've just finished this book. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to get to know what it means to live your faith. It describes in such a wonderful way how to live an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. After all, Mr. Stowell is so correct. What else is there except Jesus Christ in the life of any Christian believer. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will probably re-read it. I couldn't put it down. It gets down to what it's all about. Praise his Holy name!!!

Fantastic

After seeing Dr. Stowell at a conference, I was excited to get this book. If you are a Christian, just getting by ... read this book! It will challenge you, and make you re-think about your walk with Jesus. It is top notch, and lists many verses to study in the bible.Get it, read it, and get closer to Christ!

It's All ABOUT JESUS

A very popular catch-phrase used in our day is "It's not about you" often accompanied by "It's all about you.." and whatever claims the speaker wants to enunciate. However, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are learning that it is "All About Jesus." And "Simply Jesus" by Joseph M Stowell, President of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago helps to clarify just that position.In his own warm, inimitable, and engaging way, Stowell helps to paint the portray as it should be painted...God's Son, Jesus Christ our Lord as the main object and center of all the Universe. In nine short chapters, the author describes his own personal journey into the heart of God in loving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through many illustrations from his own life (being invited to the White House, dining with Billy and Ruth Graham, and growing up in his dad's church) and that of friends and family. This is done with great humor which is both candid and sensitive to those being illustrated, as well as his target audience.Just because this is an easy read doesn't mean that it is either boring, cliche-ish, or shallow. It is none of those. What it is will be many things to each different reader.For me, it was a clear, inviting, and compassionate call to know Christ more...and not just more about Him. But to know and love Him more, and to let Him love me as only He can.After all, it is "simply Jesus."Get this book...give it away after you read it!
