You know you need God. But do you know how much God needs you? The One whose mercies are new every morning wants to be one with you!

This book will move you beyond religious theory into a deeper walk with God. Lee Venden explains in simple terms how to make friends with Jesus. Using a blend of stories, parables, and plain teaching, he explains how to surrender your will, how to be converted daily, and how to experience Christ's transforming power.

Here you will find practical suggestions for how to have a meaningful devotional life. How to experience two-way communion with God in prayer. How to deal with discouragement and failures. How to be an effective witness.

Jesus will meet your every need and fulfill your deepest heart longings. It's not what you do that counts, or what you know. It's Whom you know.

Lee Venden has never forgotten the joy he experienced when he discovered the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually knowing Jesus. A pastor, educator, and convention speaker, Lee currently pastors the Village church in College Place, Washington. He authored The Pleasure of His Company, and coauthored a Bible study series on the Web site www.MoreAboutJesus.org.
