He Gets Us

Experiencing the confounding love, forgiveness, and relevance of Jesus

By: Max Lucado, He Gets Us

Narrated by: Max Lucado, Adriel Irizarry, Maggie Richardson

Jesus understands our lives because he was human too. He faced the same hardships and personal struggles that we encounter on a daily basis. He felt our deepest sadness and experienced our darkest solitude. Above all, Jesus gets us.

In Jesus' time, communities were deeply divided by bitter differences in religious beliefs, political positions, income inequality, legal status, and ethnic differences. But where was Jesus in all of this? Did he align with the religious elites? Or did he start an uprising to overthrow them? Neither of the above.

Instead, he went from town to town, offering hope, new life, and modeling a different way to live and to change the world. Instead of pursuing power, money, or religious authority, he shared a loving and sacrificially generous way of living--he championed a better way. But how can we understand the Jesus of the Bible today?

Inside the pages of He Gets Us, you'll find 14 of the most frequently asked questions about Jesus, including:

• Was Jesus ever stressed?
• Was Jesus ever lonely?
• Did Jesus ever mourn?
• Did Jesus have fun?
• How did Jesus deal with injustice?
• Was Jesus fed up with politics?

Each chapter includes an FAQ, detailed responses from contributors of He Gets Us and selected writings from New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado, a QR code that takes you to a profound video that you can watch and share with others, and timeless Scripture verses.

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, seeking answers to life’s difficult questions, or looking for a deeper relationship with Jesus, He Gets Us will be your guide every step of the way.

Soooooo needed

This is excellent, a book that people who have turned their back on God can read, and relate to him.

Another Uplifting Book By Max

Amazing message. One of the most relatable to today’s phenomenon of the human race as it relates to Jesus. Acceptance is key.

Yes, He get us!

Thank you for taking me through the journey and making the correlations to God, Jesus, His followers in their time and us now. He Get Us!

I Loved it!

Loved it!
Clear and consistent with the Bible. We serve a mighty God who sees us and understands us. But the best news of all is that he loved us so much that he came to this earth to be a man who would suffer a cruel death. He paid the debt for all sin and was raised up on the 3rd day to show us we can have life after death if we only believe in him. He is our Savior, Deliverer, Redeemer, Father, Friend, and King above all Kings!
