Von der hinteren Coverseite

Are you longing for true connection?

The Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it's hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like. 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.

"Jared's writing always leaves me edified, refreshed, and more sure of the joy and hope I have in Jesus--Friendship with the Friend of Sinners is no exception."--Emily Jensen, coauthor of Risen Motherhood and author of He Is Strong
