John’s Jesus
In 11 brief chapters from selected portraits in John’s Gospel, Mike Cain sets out to show us what Jesus is like as we listen to his words and look at his actions. The author seeks to dispel the common mistaken caricatures of Jesus held by many people, which are so different from the genuine Jesus of the Bible. We are also brought to glimpse who we are, and the spiritual predicament that plagues each one of us.

The phrase ‘Back to Basics’ is a familiar slogan to the modern ear, and this book is about basics. It is, as the author states in his preface, ‘an attempt to introduce people to the real Jesus’. The whole story of a rescue mission that God has initiated, and is personally involved in, is the theme, which is unashamedly evangelistic.
