Description
You want to be just like Jesus, because this is the way he made you. Like clay awaits a potter. Like canvas awaits a painter. Our lives long to be shaped by Jesus. But ' to be blunt ' - You are not the Son of God and Saviour of the world - You can't walk on water or heal leprosy - You don't want to give up your home and job, or get killed for your beliefs Yet there is truly hope, because God made you to be like Jesus. Christlike habits, attitudes, passions, disciplines, role-models, visual aids, and real-life examples are offered in Scripture and explored in this book. As you discover and develop these, you will find that your life really does connect with Jesus.
Reviews / Votes
"Engaging stories, eye-opening insights, and easy application combine to give you a book that's not just essentially reading, it's essential living." -- Matt Summerfield, Executive Director, Urban Saints "Fantastic! Krish writes inspiringly about how we can live and communicate the good news who is Jesus. I most definitely commend it." -- Ruth Valerio "Back to the Source honestly addresses the challenge of pursuing a Christlike character using both scripture and real life examples that inspire and equip the reader. A thought provoking and life-affirming read." -- Patrick Regan OBE "Reading certain books is like sitting in a long, slow traffic jam: you know you'll reach your destination in the end, but boy does it take time to get there! Reading Krish Kandiah is like cruising a country lane in a sports car, with the top down: it's entertaining; fast-paced and enjoyable. Never boring, always useful, this is a thrilling exploration of an exciting challenge - to BE, SAY and DO life the Jesus way." -- Gerard Kelly, The Bless NetworkMore details
