Empty Shelf Book #1: Jesus Is___: Find a new way to be human




Author: Judah Smith: Pastor of City Church in Seattle Washington

What It’s About: How we view and relate to the Jesus, who He is, how He lived, and what He did influences how we view ourselves and relate to others.

Why I Read It: I have been listening to Judah for years and I really just wanted to read this book.

Favorite Idea: Scripture tells us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. When we mess up He doesn’t get up as if our actions have caught Him off guard. He knows everything about us; the faults we see in ourselves and even the ones we don’t or can’t see. That doesn’t change His opinion of us or what He has done for us.

Favorite Quote: The devil is a liar. Sin is defeated. God is for us, Jesus is with us, and His grace is sufficient.

Opinion: It is a fun, easy read, full of Judah’s personal illustrations and anecdotes in relation to how he views Scripture. His insight is encouraging and inspiring.
