A great read that genuinely offers the answers to life's biggest questions. Not a self-help book or an ego-boosting read, but something with real truth and life on offer.

Would be the perfect accompaniment to the Gospel of John for anyone seeking or curious about Jesus.

I appreciated the premise of this evangelistic book, which seeks to connect Jesus' 'I am' statements with broader worldview questions and existential cries. However my sense is that it is pitched a long way 'forward', to non- believers who already are familiar with a lot of the gospel and with Christian terminology. That's not true of many today, including the students I predominately work amongst.

a brilliant little book which I’d encourage the Christian and non Christian a like to read to fully grasp the Good News and importance of Jesus.

Marcus does a great job of answering many of life’s biggest questions by presenting the answer - Jesus Christ.

I just... didn't love this one. I struggle at the best of times with devotionals and I had high hopes for this one. It was either too simplistic, or in general I didn't align with his interpretations. And I definitely found it to be condescending at times. It was just ok.

Would be great as an accompaniment to the Gospel of John, especially for unbelievers or new believers.
