Jesus Loves You, This I Know

The title of the new book by Craig Gross and Jason Harper may bring back powerful memories of warm afternoons spent in Sunday school in one's Sunday best; however, for many, the name, Jesus, may fill their hearts with rage and anger. The contents of the book do neither of these for me personally. The best way to describe this book is simple, but so profound. Craig and Jason write this book in order to break the trend in culture that says Jesus was a strict ruler and governs all of the laws of Christianity. The authors attempt, and I believe succeed, at breaking down the walls of religious dogma and take the reader back into the scriptures to show what Jesus was truly like and how he would truly act. The book itself is filled with fantastic stories and personal examples from the lives of both of these men. Each illustration is perfectly placed to show how Jesus loves all people of all societies. I am recommending this book to everyone out there who reads this. My perspective on Jesus has been absolutely annihilated, but in the most encouraging of ways. Pick this book up September 1, 2009.
