Book Review: All That Jesus Asks

Posted on May 8, 2012 by Stan Guthrie

By Diana Prange

When I was given a copy of this book, I had some preconceived notions of what it would be about. I thought it would talk about what Jesus asks of us. What does he ask us to do? You know, deny yourself, take up your cross and all that. However, this book is not a to-do list from Jesus. It is more akin to the game “Loaded Questions.” Stan shows us that when Jesus asks a question, he is challenging us to reflect on what we believe about Him, His mission, and how we fit into God’s plan.
