Paperback Join pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado as he takes you on a year-long journey into really knowing Jesus—not knowing about him but coming to know the friendship of our Savior. Encounter a Deeper Experience of the Person and Character of Jesus—All Year Long *This 52-week study on the person of Jesus Christ is designed so that you can start it at any point in the year. Although the details of Jesus's life may be familiar to you from the gospel accounts, can you consider him a companion? A dear friend? A brother? Do his habits rub off on you because of how much time you spend with him? Experiencing the Heart of Jesus for 52 Weeks is about walking with Jesus so closely that we become like him, that we begin to imitate him day in, day out. This is, after all, the core of what it really means to be a Christian—an imitator of Christ. This study includes: Explorations of 11 characteristics of Jesus. Prayers and memory verses to help you draw closer to Jesus throughout the week. "The Heart of the Matter" sections provide key takeaways of each unit. Questions for personal or group study. "The Heart of Jesus" sections intended to lead to deeper reflection. Based on Experiencing the Heart of Jesus and Experiencing the Words of Jesus, two bestselling books by Max Lucado, this unique Bible study helps you build a deeper relationship with your Savior. Over the course of a year, you’ll step into Jesus's presence and experience his grace, forgiveness, power, love, and prayer.
