“I’ve written a lot of books and read even more, but once in a while I catch myself reading a great book from someone who has lived a great life, and I stop here and there, look out wistfully through an open window, and say, ‘I wish I’d written that!’ Wayne Cordeiro puts me in that kind of envious mood. But even if I had written Jesus: Pure and Simple, it would not have been done nearly as well. Because a book like Jesus: Pure and Simple can only come from the heart of a man who knows his subject very well. This is a book that might have been titled Jesus Close Up. After any single paragraph you will know it was written by a man who lives his devotion to the Savior, and out of the depths of his Christ-neediness makes the poor in spirit wealthy.”
“What I love about this book is that the content and title match what every follower of Christ should long for. In a world where everything soon gets over complicated, we all need these reminders to keep the main thing, the main thing—purity and simplicity of walking with Jesus every day.”
“To a generation that can’t find the real story amidst all the tradition, churchyness, poor street cred, or newspaper headlines, Jesus: Pure and Simple is a breath of fresh air and should be the first place you start or start over.”
“If you’re sick, you need a doctor who knows how to study what’s wrong with you and offer a savvy diagnosis—your life might depend on it. And in Jesus: Pure and Simple, Wayne Cordeiro is spot-on in his diagnosis of a Christian culture that is sick of itself. His prescription? More of Jesus, and less of everything else. I couldn’t agree more.”
