“In an era in which the vision of so many of us has been clouded by a constant stream of tragedy flowing from the devices in our hands and distorted by social media echo chambers, Alan Wright invites us to learn how to see ourselves, others, and the world as Jesus does. Combining a renowned gift for storytelling with profound spiritual insights, this trusted messenger leads us into the liberating discovery of a new, better, more redemptive way to see. Oh, how desperately we need this book right now.”
“This book investigating the dynamic of seeing is both timely and timeless. Trying to believe and behave without a God-given perspective can produce only frustration and kill any joy the gospel might give. The insights Alan Wright shares in Seeing as Jesus Sees enhance the beauty of the gospel.”
“The early followers of Christ not only heard His teachings, they saw His heart. It radically changed their view of the world. If you would like to see your world the way Jesus sees it, this book is for you. Seeing as Jesus Sees will greatly impact your own thoughts and behavior.”
“Alan Wright is a superb teacher and a great lover of Jesus. Seeing as Jesus Sees offers insights into the beauty of Jesus and will help readers move into a deeper friendship with Him.”
“Alan Wright’s new book is a refreshing and utterly eye-opening perspective on who Jesus is and how He sees. Seeing as Jesus Sees will go a long way in reshaping and correcting your false notions about who Jesus is and what He thinks of you. Saturated with Scripture and alive with true stories of how Jesus changed lives that we might otherwise have considered beyond all hope, this book will encourage and inspire you to begin asking in every situation, with every individual you meet, How does Jesus see this? The answer to that question could be life-changing!”
“Alan Wright has done it again! With great skill, he always causes me to think new thoughts, go to new places, and see new things. Our prayer ought to be, ‘Lord Jesus, cause me to think Your thoughts after You, to see through Your eyes, to hear through Your ears, and to love those You love.’ If that’s your prayer, as it is mine, Seeing as Jesus Sees is the book to put legs on that prayer. Read it and ‘see’ what happens. You’ll be surprised and pleased.”
“This book is an ‘eye salve’ for the soul—a deeply convicting and encouraging message! Thank you, Pastor Alan, for helping us remove the veil and see through the eyes of the Savior.”
“Open the eyes of my heart, Lord’ is not just a lyric in a song; it’s a biblical prayer. There are things we don’t know or have yet to perceive that God wants to reveal to us. Why? Because He wants us to know Him for who He really is. If you long for a clearer spiritual vision, read this book. Pastor Alan Wright has crafted a message that the world desperately needs. The enemy of our souls wants us to live with an earthbound, unredemptive perspective, because if we dare to view God, ourselves, and others with eyes of faith, hope, and love, a revival might just break out. I love this book.”
