Discover how participating in religion or having information about Jesus is not the same as knowing Jesus personally.
There is significant difference between pursuing a personal encounter with Jesus and pursuing information about Jesus. Information alone can become heavy religious baggage. Information does not love, forgive, comfort, save, or heal . . . Jesus does!
Many people desire a closer relationship with Jesus of Nazareth and are seeking a deeper understanding of his teaching and how they might apply to their daily life.
Would it surprise you to know that Jesus has the same desire? He wants to know you, love you, and be part of your daily life. The teachings of Jesus reveal the heart of Jesus as nothing else does.

“An amazing book that captures the essential teachings of Jesus and how to apply them as a modern-day disciple. This book could be titled, ‘Jesus Distilled.’ If anyone is interested in learning more about the Jewish carpenter of Nazareth and how He changed everything. I highly recommend Doug Burleigh’s new book.” —Jim Slattery, lawyer, businessman, and former Democrat Congressman, Kansas 2nd District
