Summary
An apologetic written by bestselling apologists Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale that addresses the felt needs of all as each person pursues the deepest longings of his or her heart.
What is the meaning of my life? What is my purpose? Does it even matter? If you sometimes feel a disconnect between the church creeds you recite and the concrete challenges of your days, you’re not alone. You may be questioning how Jesus relates to your experiences: Too successful to need Jesus. Too intellectual to be persuaded by Jesus. Too ashamed to look at Jesus. Too hurt and angry to trust Jesus.
In Jesus for You, bestselling authors Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale translate deep truths into accessible realities. They show that Jesus is not just abstractly true; he is concretely relevant to your real-life circumstances.
Moreover, they reason convincingly that the relevance of Jesus is deeply related to the truth of Jesus. If Jesus is who he claimed to be, then he should satisfy your deepest felt questions and needs. Pursuing the deepest longings of your heart should lead you back to his heart for you. And the fact that someone who lived two millennia ago can so specifically meet the tangible needs of today is possibly the most powerful evidence that Jesus is divine.
Jesus for You is an invitation to anyone who has struggled to believe that Jesus is for him or her. Whoever you are, Jesus is for you, and whatever you have been through, Jesus is for you.
