Jesus Asking - John David Walt

The world we live in places a premium on answers. Jesus takes a different approach. He’s all about the questions. Did you know Jesus asked others upward of three hundred questions in the Gospels? He was asked somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred eighty questions by others. Interestingly, he only directly answered three of those questions. What if we pressed pause for a minute on our need for more answers? And what if we upped our game on our quest to find better questions? And isn’t this interesting-the connection between quest and question? That is the quest of this book. Over the forty days of the season of Lent-in his signature style-J. D. Walt weaves together Scripture and stories to enrich our journey to the cross with Jesus. Starting with what he calls the Question of All Questions-Who do you say that I am?, J. D. unfolds the compelling story of how his mentor taught him three transformational questions. Simple and profound, these questions will awaken your faith and deepen your walk with Jesus. Yes, Jesus asked a lot of questions. He still does. Whether you are looking for a contemplative personal journey or a shared way with others-even your whole church-Jesus Asking will train you in the art of the question and lead you to the answers only God can reveal.
