About the book

Most people carry a picture of God. For a lot of us, it is the wrong one.

Maybe you were handed a distant judge, watching and disappointed. Maybe a scorekeeper you could never satisfy. Maybe you grew up with none of it and the whole thing just seems strange. Maybe you believed once, and something broke, and you have not been back since.

This is a short, honest look at who God actually is. Not the version many of us were given, but the God who came close.

What's inside

Eight short chapters, each one showing a single thing about Him through what Jesus actually did.

No jargon. No pressure. No assumptions about what you already believe. No argument built to win you over. The posture of the whole book is the one Jesus used when people asked where He was staying: come and see. Look for yourself. Make up your own mind.

Written by someone who got a lot of it wrong for a long time, and says so.

"Short enough to read in an afternoon. Cheap enough to give away."

A book to give away

This is the one book on the shelf written for someone who has not said yes to anything. It is deliberately short and deliberately cheap, because the point is not to make money from it. The point is that you can hand it to a friend without it feeling like a big deal, and they can read it in one sitting without committing to anything.

If you have been following Jesus for a while and someone in your life keeps asking questions, this is the book to put in their hands. Now What? is the one to give them next.
