The Person of Jesus
A STUDY OF LOVE
Where could a study of love begin but with Jesus—love personified?
Person of Jesus, a five-unit small group study, slowly introduces a Jesus so personal, so rich in love, that we are captivated heart-first. Author Paul Miller’s winsome insights—conveyed through an energetic, interactive format—lead people to discover Jesus’ beauty for themselves. Person of Jesus explores how to love by looking at the one truly good man, Jesus of Nazareth.
About Paul Miller
Paul Miller is Executive Director of see Jesus, a global discipleship mission which he founded in 1999 to help Christians and non-Christians alike “see Jesus.” Today, seeJesus is working in over 30 countries and has books and interactive Bible study materials translated into more than a dozen languages.
Paul’s books and interactive Bible studies focus on seeJesus’ core themes: Jesus, love, and prayer. His first Bible-study based book, Love Walked Among Us, was released in 2001 and followed by the instant bestseller, A Praying Life, now in its second edition. More recent titles include a study of love through the book of Ruth called A Loving Life and J-Curve, which explores how the pattern of Jesus’ life—death followed by resurrection—should also be the pattern for our lives. The heartbeat of Paul’s teaching ministry is his series of interactive Bible studies including Person of Jesus, A Loving Life, Grace Through the Eyes of Jesus, and J-Curve.
If you read any of Paul’s writing, you’ll quickly see that he loves to tell stories—most of which start with his own failures and mishaps and end with God’s faithfulness.
We are so grateful for Paul’s faithfulness in sharing the Gospel through his profound writings.
