  • "Jesus, what will it be like for you to tell the story of the life you and I have lived together to all of heaven?"
  • "How am I valuable to you? What makes me worth your time and attention?"
  • "So what's it like for you to not be afraid of anything?"
  • "Who do you say that I am, Jesus?"
  • Written by a master of the art of asking, the 52 meditations in Questions for Jesus will help you or your small group add an exhilarating new dimension to your prayer life, and encounter Jesus in profound new ways.

    Using this BookWritten in a devotional format, Questions for Jesus focuses on the passages in the book of Matthew where Jesus touches an individual's deep desire.
