The Jesus I Didn’t Know I Didn’t Know

“In this excellent work, Reddish skillfully walks the line between introductory primer and in-depth examination of the person of Jesus. I often found myself reflecting on new and astute insights I had not considered before. I highly recommend this book to those new to Christian studies, as well as to those who think they already know all there is to know about Jesus.”


—Wm. Curtis Holtzen, Professor of Philosophy and Theology, Hope International University, and author of The God Who Trusts





“If you could draw together the best devotional writing and the best biblical scholarship and fuse them into a single book, then you would have The Jesus I Didn’t Know I Didn’t Know. Make no mistake, you will not be able to read these words and remain unchanged. Some of the chapters will move you, others will challenge you, and some will just plain knock you out! It’s a complete heart, mind, and soul workout—and I can’t recommend it highly enough.”


—Nicholas Bundock, Rector of St. James and Emmanuel Church, Manchester, United Kingdom





“Tim Reddish writes like a learned friend. With writing precision, Tim navigates the space between learning and encouraging. I was persistently aware of the sense that I was listening to someone that cared about me; that he was unveiling for me previously unrealized, simple, but explosive ideas. Ideas with which I could both easily engage and understand. . . . Tim presents a truth, and then, rather than overwhelm a reader, takes an example and unpacks it in a way that is accessible. I think that newcomers to faith, and those long in the journey will benefit from reading this book.”


—Roland Hearn, District Superintendent Australia North and West District of the Church of the Nazarene and Coordinator for Ministry in Australia and New Zealand





“This engaging biblical study helps us get a glimpse inside the minds and times of the gospel writers to embrace who Jesus really was and is, in the same way they did—through Jesus’ revolutionary, startling, hope-giving statements, actions, and experiences. Reddish has mined fascinating insights that will provide rich fodder for individuals and groups, teachers, and preachers. If you think you already know all about Jesus, then read this book! It’s fresh, friendly, and faith-building. Discover facets and nuances of the person and work of Jesus and what it means to follow him.”


—Catherine Lawton, poet and author of Glimpsing Glory





“The more I study the life of Jesus, the more I discover there are still many things to uncover. This isn’t due to a lack of education or determination, it’s just that as time goes by, I continually come across new insights. Tim Reddish understands that principle and offers us in The Jesus I Didn’t Know I Didn’t Know an introduction to the life of Jesus. He whets the appetite of the seeker of understanding concerning this person called Jesus as he invites us to join him on a journey of discovery of new truths concerning the life of Jesus.”


—Robert D. Cornwall, pastor of Central Woodward Christian Church, Troy, Michigan, and author of numerous books, including Unfettered Spirit
