Adapted from master storyteller and award-winning children's author Max Lucado's popular adult book Next Door Savior, this book deals with the entire life of Christ, from His birth to His death and resurrection, showing His nature as both God and man. Through Scripture and anecdote, teens meet a Jesus who is intimately acquainted with all kinds of people. This is a Jesus who got his hands dirty, his feet wet, and his heart involved. His very presence transformed lives. Throughout the book are slice-of-life stories that illustrate the focus of each chapter in terms that youth can relate to.
