For this book, Kampmann used the content of the podcasts to build a commentary on the passage that provides a deeper look into the accounts of Jesus' life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection.

In addition to the book, Kampmann has provided an index that lists 31 bible or individual studies. The studies include an in depth look at the Sermon on the Mount, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Raising Lazarus, the Seven Words of the Cross, the High Priestly Prayer, and much more.

Editorial Reviews

09/14/2015
Kampmann, CEO of Midpoint Trade Books, brings to book form a series of podcasts that he and his friend Chuck Davis created around short, topical readings of Biblical passages. Kampmann’s podcasts (and this book) feature 365 daily scripture readings and brief commentary that draws attention to the historical, theological, and contemporary importance of each highlighted verse for today’s Christian. In 365 one-page devotional readings, the author focuses entirely on Jesus: his birth, his youth, his public ministry, and finally, his death and resurrection. Readers will appreciate Kampmann’s fully rounded narrative, which helps interested Christ followers in knowing Jesus better not only as the risen Christ, but as a boy and then a man living on Earth. Every aspect of human nature can be seen in Kampmann’s fascinating daily readings, and even longtime Christians will discover fresh insights. (Dec.)

From the Publisher

Getting to Know Jesus: An Invitation to Walk with the Lord Day by Dayby Eric Kampmann is a 365-day devotional journal, focusing on getting closer to Jesus. Each devotional, which takes up less than a page, includes a Bible verse and a corresponding message based on that verse. Two of my favorite devotionals were “I am the Good Shepherd,” based on John 10: 11-16, and “Judging,” based on Matthew 7: 1 – 2. I think that each page will allow the reader to learn more about the Bible and Jesus Himself. The content of the devotionals is thoughtful and packed with rich insight. One wonderful element of this book is that the devotionals are written in chronological order, starting with passages related to Jesus’ birth, and ending with passages related to Jesus’ death and resurrection.
