John Wessels’ Missing Jesus truly is a gem of a book, a gift to clergy and lay persons, to teachers and students of the Word, a joy to read and will no doubt be a joy to work with. … The author’s love for Jesus and the Bible is unabashed, his treatment of the material intellectually honest, his understanding of the relevance of the Bible and the message of Jesus to the challenges facing the church and our societies is spot on, his approach to the reader highly respectful. A delightful book.

Allan Boesak

This book is a contribution to our public discourse that could not have come at a better time. This should be required reading for all seeking to live their beliefs.

Dr Mamphela Ramphele

Christian faith is about a person: Jesus of Nazareth. What we have here is a comprehensive guidebook for all who preach or teach in the Churches which will enable us to find the missing Jesus, the Shepherd we had lost. I can recommend it without reservation.

Fr. Albert Nolan

John encourages his readers to build an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than be ‘consumers’ of religion. I highly recommend it.

Rev. Faith Whitby

I agree with the central thesis of the ‘missing Jesus’. Protestant Evangelicalism has tended towards a reductionist view of the gospel. …This work brings an important theological corrective.

Dr Derek Morphew

Missing Jesus is a comprehensive, thought-provoking contribution to the literature of our faith that will deepen the spiritual life of anyone who reads it, or uses it as a study guide.

The Most Revd Njongonkulu Ndungane

Almost each page sparkles with fresh insight, pastoral relevance and down-to-earth application.
