ABOUT THIS BOOK
You will love how this guidebook leads you on the
exciting journey of getting to know Jesus better.
You will come to appreciate the relevance of Jesus
to all dimensions of life today - including the social,
spiritual, religious, economic, political, relational and
ecological realities. John Wessels has developed and
taught the contents of this guidebook in courses since
the year 2000. Over the years he has often re-written,
enlarged and refined the guidebook. Now, nineteen
years after the start of this project, he has decided it is
ready for publication.
The guidebook can be used as a comprehensive
journey of discipleship for individuals, small groups
or congregations. It may also be divided into three
separate shorter studies in the following way: 'Jesus
rediscovered!' (six-week journey), 'The Kingdom
Industry Reviews
John Wessels' Missing Jesus truly is a gem of a book, a gift to clergy and lay persons,
to teachers and students of the Word, a joy to read and will no doubt be a joy to
work with. The author's love for Jesus and the Bible is unabashed, his treatment of
the material intellectually honest, his understanding of the relevance of the Bible
and the message of Jesus to the challenges facing the church and our societies is
spot on, his approach to the reader highly respectful. A delightful book.

This book is a contribution to our public discourse that could not have come at a
better time. This should be required reading for all seeking to live their beliefs.

Christian faith is about a person: Jesus of Nazareth. What we have here is a
comprehensive guidebook for all who preach or teach in the Churches which will
enable us to find the missing Jesus, the Shepherd we had lost. I can recommend it
without reservation.

John encourages his readers to build an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ,
rather than be 'consumers' of religion. I highly recommend it.

I agree with the central thesis of the 'missing Jesus'. Protestant Evangelicalism has
tended towards a reductionist view of the gospel. This work brings an important
theological corrective.
D R D E R E K M O R P H E W
Missing Jesus is a comprehensive, thought-provoking contribution to the literature
of our faith that will deepen the spiritual life of anyone who reads it, or uses it as
a study guide.
