We Would See Jesus

When you are composing a "must-read" list of books, you should keep it rather short. There are many excellent books, but which ones _must_ be read? The Bible, for one. After that, "We Would See Jesus" rises rather close to the top.Why? Because it is short, yet dense. It is easily read, yet takes time to digest. And although you can read it in a Saturday, you will read it repeatedly to enjoy all that is contained in such a small book.- soli Deo gloria -

A friend gave me a copy in college and I devoured it immediately. I like to underline the more meaningful passages and I found I was underlining the entire book. Roy and Revel Hession go straight to the heart of what is means to follow Jesus and seeing Him as all we need, as the truth, as the door, as the way, as the end and for others. The Hessions write in a powerful style that few modern day authors can emulate. The 96 pages make for a powerful book in a small package.

This is such an awesome book. Finished it within a week, and I plan to share it with my girls. Absolutely and positively a great pointer to the one and only thing that matters - Christ. I highly recommend this book to any heart that seems to have found itself wandering and dry. This will be a helpful aid leading you back to Christ, and as a result, awakens the truth in you.

I'm reordering more copies of this wonderful book which has been one of my favorites for more than twenty years. The message is one sorely needed in every Christian life - only Jesus is worthy of our attention and adoration, that seeing Him is the solution to every problem of our lives. He is an unfailing Source of life and liberty. All else fades into insignificance as we fix our spiritual vision upon Him.

The singlemost profound and liberating extra-biblical work I have read. I am forever changed because of it.
