Praise for the Print Edition

Most Christians would tell you they believe the Bible to be God’s Word. And yet many of those same Christians could not even articulate what the core beliefs are to the Christian faith. In Jesus Loves Me, John Dickerson does a great job of helping believers understand the basic teachings of Scripture. This is a great resource for any Christian who needs to build a stronger foundation to their faith.

--Steve Poe, lead pastor of Northview Church, Carmel, Indiana

Jesus Loves Me is a needed primer of the basics of Christian faith in an era when many polls tell us that people claim the name but do not know the basics of the faith. In a way that makes recall easy, John Dickerson lays a foundation for key core elements of belief in ways that fill that gap. By doing so, he sets the stage for a new believer to start off on the right foot in a long and meaningful walk with God.

--Dr. Darrell L. Bock, New York Times bestselling author and senior research professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary

In an age when everyone seems to have strongly held but weakly formed opinions about everything, including Christianity, John S. Dickerson’s new book is a tremendous gift. If you want to cut through the noise and the trappings of religion and distill the essence of who Jesus actually is, this book will help you do just that.

--Carey Nieuwhof, founding pastor of Connexus Church, author, and podcaster
