Connecting Like Jesus

Connecting Like JesusConnecting Like Jesus:
Practices for Healing, Teaching and Preaching
By Tony Campolo and Mary Albert Darling (Jossey-Bass, 2010)

“Jesus’ styles of relating flowed out of being totally committed to living for the glory of God. Through seamlessly connecting His relationship with God and His knowledge of Scripture to His daily life, Jesus dynamically connected with others. He knew that times of prayer and reflecting on Scripture were essential to knowing God more intimately and being spiritually prepared and empowered to connect with others in ways that would best advance God’s kingdom. And He counted on His followers to follow in his footsteps.” –Tony Campolo and Mary Albert Darling, from the book
