The Essential Jesus seeks to unveil the person of Christ through an exploration of both Old and New Testament readings. Whitney Kuniholm, president of Scripture Union USA, provides engaging reflections and thoughtful applicatory elements that help bridge the gap between knowing about God and knowing God. As opposed to proclaiming what the truth is, he invites you to “form your own opinion about Jesus.”
Youth workers who wish to invite their adolescent friends to consider Jesus’ question, “Who do you say that I am?” will find The Essential Jesus to be a great resource for seekers as well as new believers. Its design for daily reading, reflecting, praying, and applying will help to foster students’ spiritual disciplines as well. As the emphasis on intertwining students’ stories with Christ’s continues to grow, this book will serve as an apt tool in keeping the focus on the more important of the two.
