The Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it's hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like. We so often don't even know how to do friendship with the people around us, despite all the options we have to connect. So how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? How do we see Jesus as the real person he is? And how do we experience true friendship with him when we struggle to maintain true friendship on earth?

Join author Jared C. Wilson as he explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus. Through candid personal stories and insights into the Gospels, Wilson uncovers easily overlooked details of the close relationship Jesus had with his followers. He reveals the ways we often hold Jesus at arm's length and shows how to draw close to him through radical honesty, consistent communication, and unconditional love.

If you've found yourself lonely and longing for connection and friendship, it's time to discover the remarkable possibility of closeness with Christ.

“The odds are good that you make less of friendship than you ought. But you were made for it--and not just friendship with others but friendship with Christ himself. I so respect the way Jared C. Wilson unpacks the truth of what the friendship of Jesus is like and how it provides something for our souls we won't find anywhere but with him. Read this one twice.”

“Jared's writing always leaves me edified, refreshed, and more sure of the joy and hope I have in Jesus--Friendship with the Friend of Sinners is no exception. In a culture where true friendship is distorted, we need a better understanding of what it means to have a friend in the living Christ. This book will encourage the lonely and the lowly, pointing them to the best friend they can ever have.”
