Greg Treat interviews Joe Durso about the writing of his book THE JESUS YOU NEED TO KNOW. Joe discloses the main reason for writing this book is Jesus Himself, His sacrifice, love, grace, and the forgiveness he provides. The uniqueness of this new book is the result of a different perspective. From this unique viewpoint, Jesus can be seen for the man He became and the internal motives by which He lived. Furthermore, the value of knowing Jesus is elevated in this writing, to the place that it should be, that of the possession of eternal life. Joe delivers his personal testimony of receiving Christ and how that activity has continued to change him to this present day. Their discussion reveals how intimacy with Jesus marks the life of the believer and how the knowledge of Jesus is not merely intellectual. Such expertise extends to a soul to soul awareness. An accurate understanding of Christ continues to the way a believer prays. Precise knowledge of Jesus creates in the person who knows Him an interest that extends beyond all worldly affairs. Joe book is recounted by Greg like a book that reads like a sports biography. It argues that Jesus Christ is the greatest of all time. Still, further, a knowledge of Jesus Christ that saves is one that brings God near, so that trials and suffering are a means to reveal Jesus as the one who loves and cares for our soul like no other.
