About the Book

Jesus wanted, most of all, for people to follow him. Some of the loudest professed Christians claim to follow Jesus while doing the exact opposite. As the Church finds its way back to following Jesus better, the world will become a much more loving place.

I explain how in two parts. Part One, What Jesus Really Wanted, makes the case that what Jesus wanted most was for people to follow him; unpacks what Jesus meant by “loving God with heart, soul, mind, and strength.”
