These simple but profound reflections on stories from the Gospels invite Christians to look afresh at the One they follow daily.

Why another book on Jesus? Surely if there is one Bible character we know, it is Jesus. But maybe the same old thing of "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" in our churches has blinded us to who he really was and really is. Perhaps our own walk with him is not what it should be because we feel too comfortable with him—or at least of our picture of him.

A Month with Jesus is an invitation to spend a month with the biblical Jesus, the One who surprised his contemporaries. By looking at him through their eyes, maybe we too can be surprised. Surprised enough to shake us out of our old habits. Surprised enough to understand him as we never have before. Surprised enough to follow. Surprised enough that this familiar story—the greatest story of all—is no longer "the same old thing."

“Gary Holloway is a master of simple prose that gets to the heart of things and draws
readers in. Here he has applied that skill to produce a rich but simple tool to make
the Psalms—the believer’s prayerbook—a regular part of one’s life with God.”
—Leonard Allen, author of Poured Out: The Spirit of God Empowering the Mission of God

“In Psalms, Gary Holloway cracks the code of meaningful meditation. His astute scholarship and engaging style inspire and equip. If you’re new to the Bible, or have spent your life poring over its pages, you will find yourself hearing God’s life-giving voice in fresh ways.”
—Dr. Don McLaughlin, author of Love First: Ending Hate before It’s Too Late
