Lumberjack Jesus

Insightful and uplifting, Lumberjack Jesus reminds us all that we need and deserve unconditional love.

 

In a series of 28 essays, Bruce Kirkpatrick discovers a loving God who is a good conversationalist and often appears as a lumberjack. God comes alive in these pages in everyday life-in stories about Vietnam, rock concerts, bicycle rides and chemistry sets.

 

Bruce discovered that as he was consumed by anger, shame and guilt-quite literally dying on the inside-Jesus came to him, looking like a lumberjack in a red flannel shirt and short-cropped beard. Even as he pushed Jesus far away and with such belligerence that reconciliation seemed impossible, Jesus was always there.

 

Bruce learned that the love of Jesus is not just for caring Christians who never falter or fail at life. If Jesus can love and accept an uncaring, self-centered, lustful dope like Bruce, he can do the same for you. Nobody is beyond his reach or his love.

 

In a unique and introspective style, these stories will help you see faith in almost every circumstance in life. Now with group discussion questions perfect for Bible studies or daily devotionals.
