Join pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado as he takes you on a year-long journey into really knowing Jesus—not knowing about him but coming to know the friendship of our Savior. Although Jesus’ name is familiar and his story universal, so few of us could really call him a close personal friend. Just as over time we learn the subtle, familiar expressions of our closest friends, so too we can come to know the personality of our Savior. This book is about really knowing him. In this study, beloved author Max Lucado invites you to step closer to Jesus. This life-changing workbook includes excerpts from Max Lucado’s bestselling books, 52 weekly Bible study lessons on the person of Jesus Christ, a “Heart of the Matter” section with key takeaways for the lesson, a leader’s guide to help small groups go through the material, and more.
