Krish Kandiah works for the Evangelical Alliance as Executive Director of Missions and England. He is on the staff of London School of Theology, a regular speaker at university missions, also (as readers of the June issue of EN may remember) a dedicated father to foster children. In addition to all this, he has published many books (I counted 13 since 2006). This most recent book is based on a series of talks given at Spring Harvest.
The question the book sets out to answer is this: given that none of us is the Son of God, in what ways should we aim to be like Jesus? Speak like Jesus? Do the things He did? Sections are three or four pages long, beginning with a ‘real-life dilemma’ of some kind, then some thoughts on a New Testament passage, returning to the dilemma, ending with suggestions for further thought. The approach is light, friendly, low-key.
