What People are saying about Jesus is Everything, and Bruce :

5 Star Review Tom

Bruce Hartman switches easily between stories about his friends and acquaintances and the ancient figures of the Bible. He often shows the two (or more) sides to each story, and how treating people with decency, kindness, and forgiveness is the most satisfying way to live with peace of mind. He makes a compelling case for accomplishing what Jesus encouraged. Bruce shows there is more to that accomplishment than simply calling oneself a Christian. I read the book from cover to cover in one sitting.

Every day people, CEO's, people that "get it" and people that don't - fear not! This book is for you, me and all of us. This book is an easy read, simplistic and informative when it comes to Bible verse.The use of real life stories made this easy to relate to. I found the background Dr. Hartman provided to gain a better understanding of the scriptures helpful . I appreciated how he considered questions one might have while reading scripture and also provided some possible answers. Last, this book is a hope-filled book; throughout the text examples of truth, humility and hope abound. Dr. Hartman reminds us there are many ways to obtain a beautifully spiritual connnection. I would recommend this book to anyone from skeptic to theologian!

5 Star Review

As a pastor who is leading a faith group on what it means to Follow Jesus and not necessarily just be a Christian, I would definitely include this book in my list of books to use for the group. What I like the most about this book is that it talks about have a relationship with Jesus and not just stating that you believe in Jesus. In other words, Christianity is a responsive faith, you must act on your belief in Jesus and Dr. Hartman drives that point home. I like the fact that he uses many examples of real people and not just letting this be a book on theoretical concepts of Christianity or more importantly following Jesus. This is not a book about reaching people with Jesus in a worship setting but in real life situations and where people are in their lives. I felt at times that Dr. Hartman was trying to cram a lot of theology into a short book and maybe should have expanded some of his thoughts and thus the book could be longer but it also allows for the beginning of good discussions from the points he does bring out. Example is he quickly talks about the first followers and how they were the people of the way. This could lead a good discussion on what that means, the Bible passages that relate to it and how one can apply it to today’s society. This is a book any person who wants to know what it means to follow Jesus can read and should have in their library.

5 Star Review

Finally we have a well written book which draws on simple truths to introduce us to Jesus, our Lord and Savior and Jesus , our example for living. I can state simply that following Jesus has made my life better and Dr. Hartman gets it. Take the time to read this short book, pray about your relationship with Christ and watch good

things happen....

5 star Review

Enjoyed this book very much. Dr. Hartman wrote this book in a way that I have a much better understanding of Jesus. Having dyslexia, reading can be difficult for me to understand & grasp what I am reading. I am not a Bible reader for the most part because of my dyslexia. Yet, Dr. Hartman writings makes his writings easy enough for persons with dyslexia & not so wordy.

Dr. Hartman uses real life happenings to make it easier to understand where, why Jesus is here & how Jesus is such a strong part of our lives.

5 Star Review

I have read Dr. Hartman's other three books. Each one is a good read. "Jesus Is Everything" is easy to read, and flows seamlessly between the bible verses and Bruce bringing real life examples. He stresses that not everyone will follow Jesus in the same way, but that is all right. Each person will find their own way to Jesus.

This book was able to read in one sitting.
