Synopsis

The Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it's hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like. We so often don't even know how to do friendship with the people around us, despite all the options we have to connect. So how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? How do we see Jesus as the real person he is? And how do we experience true friendship with him when we struggle to maintain true friendship on earth?

Join author Jared C. Wilson as he explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus. Through candid personal stories and insights into the Gospels, Wilson uncovers easily overlooked details of the close relationship Jesus had with his followers. He reveals the ways we often hold Jesus at arm's length and shows how to draw close to him through radical honesty, consistent communication, and unconditional love.

If you've found yourself lonely and longing for connection and friendship, it's time to discover the remarkable possibility of closeness with Christ.

Jesus truly is the best and greatest friend we have and that is such great news for us. The gospel is so clearly presented on every page and Jared’s raw honesty of some really hard......more

Have you seen that show, The Chosen? It’s a crowd-funded serial about Jesus, and I love it. One of my favorite things about is the way they portray Jesus. I have to admit, the gentle, warm, and friendly Christ from the show is not the one I picture when I’m reading the Gospels. I read him kinda cran......more

Goodreads review by Kyle on May 29, 2024

This along with Gentle and Lowly are the two books that have completely taken the gospel from a knowing in the head to a understanding in the heart for me. Walking away from reading both of those books I am convinced that you will see Jesus in a completely new light.......more

3.5 ⭐️ - I’ve benefitted a ton from Jared Wilson’s ministry and writing, and his pastoral ministry class was one of my favorites in seminary. This book had so much of what I have loved about His writing in it: a big and glorious view of Jesus and the gospel, a reveling in the mind blowing goodness o......more
