A Conversation With Jesus cover

Sit down with six people who spoke with Jesus.


In this boxset of pocket–sized volumes, David Helm unpacks the conversations with Jesus recorded in John’s Gospel with relevance for all, whether investigating or revisiting the person of Jesus.

 

Accessible in size and language, each volume focuses on a specific theme and exhibits how Jesus speaks into a range of situations:

 

Truth: Jesus’ words to Pontius Pilate during His trial
Suffering: Jesus’ conversation with the lame man healed by the pool of Bethesda
Religion: Nicodemus the Pharisee quizzes Jesus
Hope: Jesus comforts Mary Magdalene
Doubt: Thomas the Apostle receives assurance from Jesus
Relationships: Jesus reaches out to the woman at the well’s encounter with Jesus

 

Each book contains the complete passage in question and is supported by supplementary material: “Cast” and “Setting” notes for character and location, short paragraphs on the meaning of Jesus’ words, and a page of Endnotes for further reading.

 
Conversations with Jesus is an indispensable resource for making Christ, as revealed through his teachings, and his conversations, core to our daily lives. Ideal for those exploring faith, growing in faith, strengthening faith and sharing faith.

 

Through journeying through John’s gospel and witnessing how he relates to real people, readers will be equipped and encouraged to take Jesus at his word and confidently apply it to their own lives.

 
The Jesus who changed their lives is the same Jesus who can change your life too. His words ring true for you.

 

The writing is simple but by no means simplistic; the tone is warm but not sentimental; the gospel call is winsome but never lacking in challenge. I warmly recommend that you buy these books, read them for your own encouragement, and then consider which of the non–Christian people in your life you will give them to. 

-- Tony Payne (Publishing Director, Matthias Media)

The church in western society has never had a greater need for books like this to give to inquirers who are open to considering what real Christianity looks like. These six short studies are gems of lucidity. Use them!

-- Tim Keller ((1950 – 2023) Redeemer City to City)

In an increasingly complex and, to some degree, daunting world Dave Helm is a sense–maker. So in each of the areas: Religion, Relationships, Suffering, Truth, Doubt and Hope, you’ll find the echo of your questions and the timeless unpredictable wisdom and rebuke of the Galilean. My plea is that you can make time to engage with what couldn’t be more important.
