What, if any, difference do close encounters with Jesus make in our lives? Spoiler alert: They make all the difference in the world! Like Peter, James and John, when we experience close encounters with Jesus, we too are transformed forever; we too are transformed for the better.
Read the book of Acts and notice who Luke spotlighted, and who he left in the shadows. The stories of Peter, James and John's close encounters with Jesus prove the point: To all who experience close encounters with Jesus, it will be said of them too, “these men had been with Jesus!” (Acts 4:13 NIV).
Close Encounters With Jesus will transport readers back in time to when Jesus first invited Peter, James and John to follow Him; to when Jesus invited the Three into three sacred places and spaces; and to when Jesus commissioned them individually to continue His prolific and powerful ministry in their unique callings.
Through in-depth Bible exposition, captivating storytelling, and insightful applications - plus a little humour sprinkled in for good measure - long-time pastor, teacher and disciple of Jesus, Rob Bedard, will lead readers where only Peter, James and John were invited to go: into three life-transformative close encounters with Jesus.
Rob Bedard's first close encounter with Jesus took place on May 19, 1984, when he became a follower of Jesus. Since then, he has made it his life mission to experience as many close encounters with Jesus as he possibly can. A follower of Jesus for nearly four decades and a church pastor for the last three of those, Rob lives to help people like you to know, love and serve Jesus.
Rob Bedard serves as a fulltime Assistant Pastor to Christian Life Assembly in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. In his free time, he teaches for Trinity Western University, and he provides career and leadership coaching and training (www.robbedard.com & www.wccl.ca).
More importantly, Rob is married to the perfect woman, Lorinda, and together they have been blessed to parent two amazing sons who through marriage have given them two wonderful daughters-in-law and, so far, one breathtakingly beautiful granddaughter.
