We so often don't even know how to do friendship with the people around us, despite all the options we have to connect. So how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? How do we see Jesus as the \u003ci\u003ereal person\u003c\/i\u003e he is? And how do we experience true friendship with him when we struggle to maintain true friendship on earth?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoin author Jared C. Wilson as he explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus. Through candid personal stories and insights into the Gospels, Wilson uncovers easily overlooked details of the close relationship Jesus had with his followers. He reveals the ways we often hold Jesus at arm's length and shows how to draw close to him through radical honesty, consistent communication, and unconditional love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've found yourself lonely and longing for connection and friendship, it's time to discover the remarkable possibility of closeness with Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4681434\"\u003eJared C.
