Experiencing friendship with Jesus can feel elusive and yet he invites us to know him this way. How do we do this? This book invites the reader on a journey of friendship through imaginative prayer with Jesus. This book offers a framework to experience friendship with Jesus in a way similar to other friendships. Every friendship has a beginning--hearing about someone, meeting them, and beginning to do things together. As the friendship develops, trust grows, hearts slowly open up, and affection for the friend grows. Intimate friends share their lives with each other, are honest about their longings and failures, and are even willing to lay down their lives for one another. All this happens slowly over time. In the Gospels, Jesus reveals this friendship development with his own friends--and invites others into a similarly real and meaningful friendship with him. This book explains and then invites the reader into a practice of imaginative prayer as the means by which to enter into a profound experience of friendship with Jesus. Believers have ""invited Jesus into their lives."" Now Jesus invites them into his!
