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.

Nicodemus was a religious man. He knew the religious law inside out and made sure he kept to it – he even taught it to others. He was confident that his religion would save him; after all, he was a good person. But then he met Jesus. According to Jesus his best attempts at living the moral life wouldn’t save him. But if religion won’t make us right with God, what will? Jesus gave Nicodemus an answer, but what does it mean?

She wasn’t particularly spiritual. She was looking for something else. A series of failed relationships behind her, she kept hoping for a real connection. Something that would last forever. Something that would satisfy that desire within her. And then she met Jesus. Her trip to get water from the well turns into a discussion about living water – and a relationship with the living God. A relationship better than all her previous relationships, that will endure, and give her the satisfaction she has been seeking.

He had been subject to a protracted and excruciating life of suffering. He was well aware of the unrelenting persistence of human misery. If anyone had a reason to feel betrayed by God, this man did. But then he met Jesus. At Jesus’ command, this man who hasn’t walked for 38 years is suddenly on his feet. But this healing brings many questions. Why this man and not another? Why was he suffering in the first place? And what would this man do now he could walk?

What is truth? This question, asked by Pilate, a Roman governor in Jerusalem, has echoed down through the centuries and still has ramifications today. His job as representative of Rome and Roman law required that he discover out the truth about the charges brought against the prisoner before him. So he asked Jesus. The answer Jesus gives and Pilate’s reaction are enlightening. The truthfulness of Jesus’ words matter. Will you respond in the same way as Pilate?

Doubt is a virtue – a necessary check on blind certainty. ‘Doubting Thomas’ is a man who has been known for his doubt throughout history. He was one of Jesus’ early followers and he was a man who liked to make up his own mind based on the evidence available to him. When the other disciples told him they’d seen Jesus alive again it sounded outrageous. But then he saw Jesus. The evidence of his own eyes, ears, and hands, backed up what his fellow disciples had been saying. But Jesus had a thing or two to say about Thomas’ doubt.

Death is the destroyer of hope. Absence makes itself felt. Plans for the future are demolished. Mary Magdalene knew how this felt. She was devastated. Jesus was dead. His body had disappeared. The hopes that she’d put in him were snuffed out. She stood beside his empty tomb and wept. But then she met the risen Jesus. This meeting changes things. If Jesus is alive hope can be reawakened. Death is not victorious. Faith can have meaning. Hope can be yours.

The first half of Daniel is well-known and much-loved. The second half is little-read and less-understood These seven studies will show how the truths about God in the second half enabled Daniel and his friends to live faithful, courageous lives in the first half; and how they will inspire us and our churches to do the same, knowing that Jesus has won, is ruling, and will return.
