Instead, McLaughlin uses evidence and personal experience to introduce (or reintroduce) us to someone who could change our lives if we would trust him to do so. Her new book won’t answer your most difficult questions about Jesus (that isn’t her purpose here). As McLaughlin describes it, Confronting Jesus represents “something of a sequel” to her previous book, Confronting Christianity, which tackled some of the hardest questions about the Christian faith. This is one reason I’m grateful for books like Rebecca McLaughlin’s Confronting Jesus: 9 Encounters with the Hero of the Gospels. I’ve been a children’s pastor for two years, and I’ve come to realize that kids ask some of the best questions, like “How much poop was on Noah’s Ark?” or “How exactly does the Trinity work?” I’ve learned, too, how those questions touch on matters that even grown-ups struggle to understand.
