Sometimes it happens: you come across something that speaks directly to the heart of a topic about which you’ve been thinking deeply—and you know it can’t be a coincidence. I experienced this when a copy of There’s More To Jesus: Encountering the Fullness of Christ in Adventism arrived from Signs Publishing.
Pr Shawn Brace’s latest book—his third—explores why we can’t afford to encounter anything but the complete Jesus. I’ve wondered whether the way we see Jesus has a lot to do with the way we see ourselves. But to see Jesus better we need to put self aside and seek to understand the multiple aspects of His nature and character. Brace goes deep. Even though his chapters are short, they get right to the heart of each aspect he explores, from the loving Christ to the law-giving Christ, the liberating Christ to the coming Christ.
I love the story in the opening chapter about a doctor inspired by the testimony Ellen White shared at a camp meeting. This young man saw for “the first time in my life the fact that God loved me, and that Christ gave Himself for me personally.” This changeless love shines throughout There’s More To Jesus.
And we can’t forget the second part of the title—Seventh-day Adventism’s unique perspectives and mission weave through this practical and encouraging book.
After reading There’s More To Jesus, you won’t want to stop finding out more about Him either. The invitation’s there: a lifelong journey of discovery awaits.
