Topic: Faith Matters

Titles have included: When God Asks a Question
Jesus’ style was one of questions—tough questions, personal questions, penetrating questions, transforming questions.  He was, and still is, a God of few answers.  His powerful questions help us discover the uniqueness of our identity, the focus of our compassion and the true calling of our work.  Drawing from his forthcoming book, John explores Jesus’ great questions intended to dislodge us from our spiritual lethargy and jolt us into a passionate relationship with Him and others.
