Your own personal everyday Jesus

By TGIFLEADER,
Being that today is the release date for “Your Own Jesus: A God Insistent on Making It Personal” by Mark Hall and being that I’d been fortunate enough to have been given an advanced copy it is right to write the review I was asked to do.
I’ve been waiting for another book to be put out by Mark Hall w/ Tim Luke since the last book “Life Stories” and they didn’t disappoint. The way Mark is able to intertwine his storytelling with scripture reference brings to life the songs that the chapters are named after. From the story of the white monster in “East to West” that reminds me of my own father using the same style of rearing on me to Blue’s “Slow Fade” of fall and rise again to the chapter that captivated me the most which is the story of Barry Riner in the chapter “Every Man”. This book will show you how great God’s mercy, grace and love is for us if we just submit our lives and give Him the reins.
Your Own Jesus challenges you to find your own Jesus and does a great job of showing us how to live not by what we feel but by what the Word reveals. From the forward by Max Lucado until the discussion guide in the back I didn’t find anything lacking in how to make Jesus your own everyday, walking around with you Jesus. Even though I’ve been working over the past year to do this I found many new ways to make Him even closer. This is a must read for young and old alike to further their walk in making Christ the center of their life.
