We all face times in our lives when we feel an empty spot, whether we are Christians or not. This can strike even when things are going our way. No matter what we try to fill it with, the void can only be filled by one person. That is because the void is caused by the fact that we are Missing Jesus.

Charles and Janet Morris write about their lives, and the times they have been missing out because they were missing Jesus. Sharing stories of both loss and good times, they tell how they have seen what trying to fill the heart with stuff, fun, and even well intentioned actions causes.

By not seeking Jesus on a continual basis, we miss out on joy, peace, and times that we can minister to others. This is just a portion of what we miss out when we chase the world instead of seeking God’s kingdom first.

With the personal stories, and the testimony from both Charles and Janet on the trouble they’ve had, Missing Jesus is an encouraging book. One that is comforting in telling that you are not alone. Others have faced the same trouble, and Jesus is always with you.

As the subtitle reads, Find Your Life in His Great Story, is something each of us needs to do. Jesus is worthy of our lives, and He deserves our focus.

I received a free copy of this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
