He Gets Us: Experiencing the confounding love, forgiveness, and relevance of Jesus Paperback – February 14, 2023

It's a great book 📕. Easily read.

If you're scared of Jesus, get this book--what a glad relief to know HE GETS US!

Easy......to read.For starters, what I like about this is, it's not "heady".The topic, concepts, ideas presented are just pure and easy to grasp.I didn't notice this when I ordered, so let me give my overview of this book.I thought it was entirely written by Max Lucado.Really though, there are two authors; it is clearly shown on the product page:"by Max Lucado (Author), He Gets Us (Author)""He Gets Us" is what I would describe as a movement, an organization that wants to introduce people to what is perhaps a side of Jesus, that many have not considered or pondered.So, each easy to read, short chapter starts with a sort of introduction of that chapters topic, a contemporary overview or sometimes, a background, if you will.That is followed by a QR code that links to a short video on that same topic, and after the QR code is a selection of writing (again in the same vein or topic) by Max Lucado.Most of the time the QR codes would open something, sometimes not (even after several attempts).A website name will pop up in the QR code, you touch on that and it opens (or should) open the link.For me, thus far, these chapters are good reminders.I've been a Lover of Jesus for many, many years, so while the chapters are good reminders, I think of them as more aimed to someone that is searching; someone that really isn't sure who Jesus is, why He is important and why they would consider Him relevant and someone they want in their life.I find them encouraging, again, nice "reminders" for me and because they are short, flowing, and easy to read; I can imagine using this as a devotional.This book is physically pretty small.The actual dimensions are 7 1/4" tall, 5" wide, and 1/2" thick.The paper the pages are printed on are not what I would describe as "deluxe" paper stock; closer to newspaper stock paper (but thicker).There are offerings of FREE items; T-Shirts, Hats, Stickers, with various sayings on them, such as:"Hate is loud Jesus loved louder"These (order forms for the free items) and background about the group, organization or movement, however you choose to describe "He Gets Us", can be found on their website."The workman is worthy of his wages".While I want to respect that, and the cost of providing free gear, the cost of producing videos and all that goes into this project, I think for someone that is searching, this would be more inviting if the cover price of this were substantially less than the current cover price of $14.99 for the paperback version.I hope this review has enabled you to make an informed purchase decision.I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.

It was a good book to read. I was really curious about it after seeing the commercials on tv. It is very relatable and I think that is the point of the book-to relate Jesus to us and our experiences. I liked the QR codes to scan in each chapter as well-the videos were powerful. I would definitely recommend and I hope that this company releases another book in the future.

What an appropriate name for this book. All things have happened in the past and now repeating itself with different characters. But Jesus stays the same for each of us

I'm really enjoying this book. It really touches me in so many ways. I'm so glad that I got it. I know that some others have said that it's not all written by Max Lucado, but that doesn't matter to me, because the words are all written and inspiring with Jesus in mind. It's so beautifully written in a wonderful and loving way.I love this book inspired by our Father God, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit!!

I started out by knowing that God is good. Now I know just how good.. It had been hard for me to forgive myself, but now that I accept forgiveness from God through Jesus, I can. I did not know how what I did was hurting God, but now I know and He still forgives me. That is powerful! I was blind, but now I see, it was God's Amazing Grace.

I was interested in this book from watching the commercials and seeing the billboards. As a Christian, I wondered what they/authors would do in a book. I think they did a great job of giving an introduction to Jesus and why He would be relevant to our lives. He is not some distant historical figure but did become a man to understand us and thru that become more relatable to us plus demonstrating for us how much God lives us. Great little book. I’m buying more for giveaways. 🥰

This book is an unfortunate production. It presents a shallow version of Jesus that has been manipulated to fit a very specific moment in the 21st century. It doesn’t take much to see, therefore, that this Jesus is apt to become quickly irrelevant and is utterly powerless to save anyone from their sin. It barely even acknowledged that this is an inherent condition and problem common to all humankind.Avoid it all costs, along with all the associated media and material that has been created as part of this marketing campaign.
