What if it's all true? What if the Bible truly is the words of God written down by the hands of men? What if Jesus was more than just a good teacher but actually the Son of God - what might that mean to you and me personally?
Jesus claimed, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life (John 8:12)." Is it possible that we may not yet fully appreciate all that Jesus offers us? Could we have been so focused on the busyness of life that we miss that which is of greatest importance? In this short, accessible book, Rick Beckwith who has served with Young Life for more than 40 years, explores this question by investigating the Person and promises of Jesus. He answers questions like:- Who is Jesus?
- What is truth and where is it found?
- What is our purpose in life?
- What did Jesus promise those who follow him?
- Do painful experiences nullify what is true?
- What if Jesus really did rise from the dead - so what?
- What is the cost of ignoring Jesus's true identity?
