About this ebook
"Each one of us has given our lives for the very message embodied in these pages, which is that Jesus really does change everything.” –Josh McDowell, Luis Palau, and Ravi Zacharias (from the foreword of Reset: Jesus Changes Everything)
Do you ever wish life had a reset button like your computer does?
Jesus Is the Reset is an invitation to a second chance—a do-over—to get beyond past missteps and failures and present confusion and discontent. Whether your struggle has been with such things as faith, hope, purity, habits, plans, self-image, or relationships, Nick Hall looks to God’s Word to address the traps we fall into and clarify the practical ways we can get out.
If you’re feeling stuck, it’s time for a reset—so you can embrace life as it was meant to be.

About the Author
A month ago, my wife, kids, and I were posing for a photographer friend of ours who was snapping shots of us for our Christmas card with our perfect hair, pasted-on smiles, and color-coordinated threads. Even though the picture turned out great, the end product was totally unrealistic. Just one nanosecond before my buddy took that winning pic, Tiffany was fixing my shirt, three-year-old Truett was trying to bolt, and baby Ruby was screaming. In so many ways, that should have been our Christmas picture: Here’s the Hall family…deal with it!
But of course we didn’t go that route. We went with the angel-faced kids and great lighting and good sides…you know, the natural-looking
pose. Have you ever posted one of these natural
pics? Whether you send Christmas cards or just post pictures on your Instagram feed, somewhere along the way, I’m sure you’ve been part of a photo that cheers Joy to the World!
despite the real-world drama surrounding you.
