Getting to Know Jesus: An Invitation to Walk with the Lord Day by Day

Kampmann, CEO of Midpoint Trade Books, brings to book form a series of podcasts that he and his friend Chuck Davis created around short, topical readings of Biblical passages. Kampmann’s podcasts (and this book) feature 365 daily scripture readings and brief commentary that draws attention to the historical, theological, and contemporary importance of each highlighted verse for today’s Christian. In 365 one-page devotional readings, the author focuses entirely on Jesus: his birth, his youth, his public ministry, and finally, his death and resurrection. Readers will appreciate Kampmann’s fully rounded narrative, which helps interested Christ followers in knowing Jesus better not only as the risen Christ, but as a boy and then a man living on Earth. Every aspect of human nature can be seen in Kampmann’s fascinating daily readings, and even longtime Christians will discover fresh insights. (Dec.)
