Ska du bara läsa en enda bok i år är det den här boken du ska välja! Scott LeRette berättar med enastående uppriktighet och värme om sin son, Austin, och de svårigheter och stundtals dråpliga situationer som kan uppstå i en vanlig familj med en ovanlig son. "Jag älskar alla. Vill du förresten bli vän med mig på Facebook? Och sedan kanske vi kan ha ett pyjamasparty hemma hos mig? Vi kan se Tillbaka till Framtiden. Jag älskar dig. Vet du det? " Austin LeRette Precis som vilken tonårskille som helst älskar Austin pizza, film och tjejer. Men till skillnad från de allra flesta artonåringar är han autistisk och lider av en ovanlig typ av medfödd benskörhet. Men Austin låter inget av det där hindra honom. I hans värld är en fraktur på en ryggkota ett mindre obehag och jakten på den ultimata jordgubbsmilkshaken något som kan förgylla vilken dag som helst. Austins resa utmanar oss alla att tro att underverk är möjliga, att hoppet verkligen lever för evigt och att vi kan finna glädjefyllda stunder att fira varje dag!

"This is a book that brings Jesus out of the headlines and back into our hearts." --Pastor Josh Burtram and Will Wright, hosts of the Faithful Politics podcast It's easy to fall into the trap of perceiving God in our own image. We expect Jesus to fit into the molds we create, and we see him through our own biased filters. This skewed vision of our Savior is damaging both to us and to nonbelievers. But how do we remove our cultural and personal blinders in order to see Jesus for who he really was? Tapping into the expertise of nineteen unique, theologically trained voices, Jesus Was illuminates the personality, actions, and character of Jesus as found in the biblical accounts of his life on earth. These concise and insightful reflections help us recognize our misconceptions so that we can clearly see the One we follow, and experience the incredible life and heart changes that come with knowing him fully. "In this refreshing and insightful book, we are confronted with who Jesus actually was, the real deal according to Scripture. This Jesus wants to remake us in his image--and not the other way around." --Nijay K. Gupta, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
