Get ready to encounter the Jesus You Never Knew! Discover for Yourself Why No One Who Meets Him Ever Stays the Same! Welcome to a journey that will challenge you--and change you. A journey that will expand--and very likely redefine--your understanding of the person, teachings, and life of Jesus Christ. One that will lead you beyond familiar images of Christ to discover Jesus as you've never known him: radical, compelling, compassionate, bold, incisive, and ultimately satisfying. This Participant's Guide is your ticket to transformative insights, invigorating discussions, and personal applications as you travel through the 14 sessions of the Jesus I Never Knew curriculum. Prepare yourself for life-changing encounters with the Jesus of the Gospels. . .and discoveries as refreshing, unpredictable, and exciting as the person you're about to meet.
I worked for 10 years as an Editor and then Publisher for Campus Life magazine. There I learned journalistic skills (there's no tougher audience than teenagers), but every year it seemed I wrote fewer and fewer words. In 1980 my wife Janet and I moved to downtown Chicago where I began a career as a freelance writer. (She has worked as a social worker and hospice chaplain--which gives me plenty of material to write about!) We lived there until 1992, when we moved to the foothills of Colorado. I've written around 20 books, most of them still in print, thankfully. Three of them I coauthored with Dr. Paul Brand, who influenced me more than any single person. My own favorites are "Soul Survivor" and "Reaching for the Invisible God" because both of them forced me to dig deep and get personal. I'm a pilgrim, still "in recovery" from a bad church upbringing, searching for a faith that makes its followers larger and not smaller. I feel overwhelming gratitude that I can make a living writing about the questions that interest me.
