|PIC1|Mark Hall, the Grammy-winning lead singer for Casting Crowns, has updated his acclaimed book, "Your Own Jesus: A God Insistent on Making It Personal", to focus it towards teens.
"Your Own Jesus" poses the question to teens: Whose Jesus do you believe in? Hall contends that too many young adults inherit somebody else’s Jesus. Rather than discovering for themselves who Jesus really is, they depend on their family, friends, or pastor for their spiritual vitality and end up defeated by compromise. In "Your Own Jesus", Hall explores the meaning of personally knowing the living Lord.
Hall, a pastor, musician and storyteller, has spent his life helping lead people into a living relationship with Jesus. In his work on staff at Eagle’s Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia, and in his travels with Casting Crowns, he has seen first hand thousands of teens leaving the church shortly after graduating from high school.
"Your Own Jesus" looks at how teens often move away from true fellowship with God, and then offers a road to wholeness and health that comes when teenagers claim their very own Jesus, the Jesus who is waiting to have an honest, committed relationship.
The book includes fascinating stories, scriptural insights and discussion for a very practical interactive study. "Your Own Jesus – Student Edition" will set readers free to begin a true relationship with the Jesus they can call their own.
