Jesus All About Life
Youth Book(Click here to download a copy)
This 135 page book, written by Murray Smith, is all about real life in the real world and about Jesus – because as the book says, the two go together.
It is designed to be placed in the hands of the curious and the critic. It can also be used with the High School SRE (Special Religious Education) lessons and for use independently.
The content is fantastic and the graphics are awesome. The book also includes an audio disc with an MP3 version of John’s Gospel to listen to.
Endorsements for the book
‘With so many crazy ideas about Jesus out there it’s important to sort out what’s true. This book does a great job of presenting the real Jesus to real people and answering some of the big questions you might have about him. If you’re interested in life, and want to know what Jesus has to do with it, then this is the book for you.’
Graham Stanton Principal Youthworks College
'This is a fabulous book. It makes sense of all of life by talking sense about Jesus. Murray knows his stuff, ancient and modern, and explains things in a way all of us can get...' John Dickson and Greg Clarke – Authors, Scholars and Directors of the Centre for Public Christianity
