Exploring the questions posed by Jesus in the Gospels, the book delves into their significance for deepening faith and understanding. Author Conrad Gempf examines why Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, asks questions, revealing his desire to connect with us on a personal level rather than seeking information. Through this lens, readers are invited to reflect on their own beliefs and relationship with Jesus, ultimately discovering that the questions serve to clarify where we stand in our faith journey.
You know you're supposed to like him, but you just don't. Maybe it's the authoritarianism, maybe it's the arrogance, maybe it's the views he seems to hold, maybe it's the way that he drones on and on until you're falling asleep. Well ... you're not the only one. None of that is new. Not even the last bit (see Acts 20:9). But there's a secret to liking an initially unlikeable person like Paul: walk a mile in his moccasins. Or three. This small book aims to take you inside three controversies that Paul faced. Would you have advised him to do anything differently? Would you have done as well as he did? This is a quick and entertaining introduction to the letters of Paul, from which you'll also learn about yourself. "The warmth of this book thaws the awkward frostiness that currently exists around Paul... I like him more now. And I like this book a lot." Jeff Lucas, author, speaker, broadcaster "This is a gem of a book for individual or group study; I highly recommend it." Mike Pilavachi, Soul Survivor "Conrad Gempf is an exceptional communicator and a sideways thinker. He's also effortlessly cool. What he uncovers about Paul will surprise, entertain and challenge you." Martin Saunders, editor of Youthwork Magazine
