Meeting with Jesus

By Jonny Moor

Humans come hardwired with a desire to experience God, but we don't always have a good idea how. "Meeting with Jesus" explores 21 unique ways for us to meet with Christ. The book goes on a journey of experiencing God in the natural world, through prayer & reflection, in the Bible, and through the creative process itself. If you long for a more real Jesus, it's worth checking out.

Jonny Moor

Jonny works as a pastor at two churches near Portland, Oregon. He has a wife named Heather and a black Labrador named Leonidas. He's been known for a menagerie of idiosyncrasies from making things with duct tape to studying dead ancient languages. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Walla Walla University in Theology and Biblical Languages. "Writing isn't compelling to me because I get to see a word count at the end of my .doc file. Writing is compelling because through it I am able to grow. I am able to share what I have learned. I am able to think things through. I am able to receive feedback from others and engage in dialogue. Writing is a platform to talk about Jesus and experience him anew." ~ Jonny Moor

Dedication and Thanks

This book is dedicated to you, the seeker. You who long for Jesus, but feel your seeking only sends you crashing into stone walls at every turn. I hope this book will, if not inspire you to try harder, inspire you to try differently, and that in these experiences you will meet with Jesus! I hope you set the book down because you need another free hand to cling to Christ.

A special mention should be made of my friends and family who helped me in the writing. Thank you my dear wife Heather for empowering me to write, designing the cover art, and helping with other technical aspects of the project! Thank you to all of you friends who gave me suggestions on Facebook. Thank you to the Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists for giving me the opportunity to speak to a group of young adults about connecting with Jesus, which inspired this work. Thank you Jesus for connecting with us in so many ways, and giving us words to tell about it!

How to Use this Book

What's this book about? Good question.

People are hungry for meaning. Real meaning only comes through a relationship with Jesus. In order to have a relationship with Jesus, we need to experience him. I look at my friends' lives. I look at my life. Good people, good lives, but not a big sense of experiencing the divine.
