Jesus is... by Judah Smith

Jesus is..... the latest book from Judah Smith. His writing is very easy to read and seeks to get people thinking about Jesus. Jesus evokes a response from everyone whether negative or positive or indifferent and this book seeks to help the reader understand and even re-imagine who Jesus really is

The book is based upon scripture but the style of writing can sometimes flit between stories and ideas. I don't mind this style but can understand how some people could find it hard to follow the track of the discussion.

Judah Smith breaks the book into six main sections:

Jesus is your friend

Jesus is grace

Jesus is the point

Jesus is happy
Jesus is here
Jesus is alive

They sound simple but the way that Judah Smith writes puts a new and culturally relevant spin on approaching age old truths. In conclusion Judah Smith writes;

My prayer is that the love of Jesus will consume you, that it will permeate your life and bring colour to your existence. There is nothing like it

I would definitely recommend this book, particularly to those who want to re-discover a passion and love for Jesus. It's an inspirational read and full of great stories of Jesus' love and faithfulness!

Not only is it a good read, but it leaves an open ended question even when you've put the book down. Jesus is.....?
