The Jesus I Never Knew

Most of us think we know Jesus. We've heard His stories, quoted His words, and sung His name since childhood. Yet, for many, the Jesus we know is shaped more by culture, tradition, and secondhand religion than by Scripture and personal encounter. The Jesus I Never Knew invites readers to strip away the layers of assumption and rediscover the living, breathing Savior who turned the world upside down. In this thought-provoking and deeply personal work, Stephen Mwai takes readers on a journey through Scripture, history, and personal reflection to unveil Jesus as He truly is — not the distant, familiar figure of routine faith, but the radical, compassionate, and transformative Son of God who still changes lives today. Divided into five sections — Rediscovering Jesus, The Radical Teacher, The Relentless Lover, The Risen King, and The Jesus Who Still Changes Lives — the book explores His humility, teachings, relationships, suffering, resurrection, and living presence in a way that challenges and inspires. Through rich biblical insights, relatable stories, and devotional reflections, Mwai shows that knowing Jesus is more than believing in Him — it's about walking with Him daily, seeing the world through His eyes, and loving others with His heart. From the dusty roads of Galilee to the struggles of modern discipleship, the author paints a portrait of Christ that is intimate, unsettling, and utterly transforming. Readers will encounter the Jesus who dined with sinners, healed the broken, forgave the unforgivable, and continues to invite all who are weary to find rest in Him. Each chapter closes with Scripture and a reflective devotion, guiding readers not only to understand Jesus intellectually but to experience Him personally. The Jesus I Never Knew is more than a book — it's an invitation to rediscover faith, rekindle love, and renew purpose. Whether you are a lifelong believer, a seeker, or someone longing to reconnect with God, this book will open your heart to the vibrant, compassionate, and revolutionary Christ who still walks among us — the Jesus who changes everything when we truly know Him.
