Your Own Jesus: A God Insistent on Making It Personal

In Your Own Jesus, Mark Hall mines from the same supply of boldness and passion that have made his band Casting Crowns such a huge success. The content is fed by this simple and committed approach to Christianity coupled with his nearly two decades in ministry to young people. Hall urges people to have a relationship with their own Jesus–to make it personal! This is possible through spiritual disciplines and an all-out war against compromise (what Hall calls the assassin of fellowship with God).
In its weakest moments Your Own Jesus slips too far into individuality and moralism; but at its strong points, a holy urgency jumps off the page and invites readers to walk with Jesus.
