Summary

He's the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Savior and God with us. However, can we really know Jesus as our best friend? Robert C. Crosby shows us how we can experience Jesus in a new and intimate way -- the same way His friends knew Him. Drawing on the close relationships that Jesus had while on earth, the wisdom of great men and women of God through the ages, and personal experience, Crosby takes readers to that place of personal transformation. More than a passage, it is a day-by-day reality where deep abiding friendship takes hold. Side by side with Jesus, readers discover the greatest friendship in the universe as it was intended to be.
