The Jesus You Need to Know

This book is about the most influential person in all of human history. Jesus has changed the stony hearts of men that believe in Him to caring, loving, empathetic hearts of flesh. His teachings have changed whole civilizations from tyrannical, aggressive warmongers to democratic liberties where they have been applied. This book examines the godly character, integrity, and motives of the greatest man that has ever lived, and how saving faith, in the right Jesus, can, by the grace of God, make Him the source of your own.

Can your prayers be measured in minutes or hours, fervency or mindless repetition? How is your worship? A relational interaction with the living God or learning as if in school.

Do Holy Days Or Holidays Please God?

Others should come before ourselves, and we should consider our actions and beliefs to be vitally important, never treating life as a game. The eternal destiny of souls should never be viewed in any context as a game!
