Friend of Sinners

Why Jesus Cares More About Relationship than Perfection

By: Rich Wilkerson Jr., Joel Houston - foreword

Narrated by: Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shines a spotlight on every Christian’s calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus’ scandalous message of the gospel of grace.

In Friend of Sinners, we learn:

• that by following his example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did,
• that His gospel of scandalous grace cannot be overestimated, and
• How to embrace the truth that we all need Jesus equally.

The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In Friend of Sinners, Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows listeners the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us “friends, not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, Jesus knew that people needed to feel like they belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.

FOS

Watching Rich read 1st chapter on YouTube is why I bought the book on Audible app. So Rich could read me the whole book. Having a paper book is great but listening Rich read the whole book to you is better. 100% recommend getting Rich’s book Friend of Sinners!!! My husbands name is Matthew and his parents always said it’s bc it’s a name in the Bible. Well listening to the book my husband learned Matthew wasn’t such a nice guy before he started following Jesus, it’s funny my husband says now he was named after a tax collector. Not only have we learned a lot about Jesus and his unlikely friendships. This book has giving me so many laughs like reducing Jesus to a pair of pants.

Very compelling.

Encourages you to look at the way we minister to the unsaved in a different and more effective way.

Must read.

Whether you are Christian or not the words in FOS will inspire you. Rich does a phenomenal job of showing the what is truly behind the scenes of the Gospel, and that is true love. Check it out!

Wow! Just, wow!

A great account and look at the love Jesus has for the lost, broken, and dejected. What a wonderful look at the redemptive power of God’s love!
I totally recommend this book!

Hits you where you live

Meets you right in the middle of where ever you are and demands that you question how well you really understand the person of Jesus. Awesome read, would highly recommend.

That will Preach!

Everyone should read or listen to this book, but Christians especially should. So many times we are so busy and caught up in our Holy Huddles, busy with doing things that are indeed important when serving the Lord, that we have forgotten the fundamental truth of the gospel: Jesus died for the ungodly. This book has opened my eyes forever to what it means to love as Jesus loved, and I will never be able to un-see it.

Great book

So this book had a new take on many things in the Bible about Jesus. i got a lot out of this book and the passion behind it. It is helping me in my walk.

thank you Rich for writing it.
