Life Tastes Better

Terry Virgo's claim in this joyful little book is that when we find ourselves going through crisis, worry and tension, Jesus Christ wants to come and help us. Not like some kind of genie but the amazing Lord who wants to take charge and transform our lives. If, like me, you've ever wondered if God could possibly want to be involved with your life, then this is a great book for you. As Terry says, the real Jesus who gives abundant life "is really worth knowing". | Terry has painted a real life Jesus in this small-sized book. It is brilliant in content, practical in application and easy to understand. It is also a great tool to introduce Christ to your family and friends who are from other faith. | So many people have a view of Jesus — if they have any view of him at all — that he will somehow take the flavour out of life if you get too close to him. Terry Virgo shows how wrong a view that is. Jesus came to give life, the fuller, richer, tastier life we all sense we need. | I really love this book, and I’m delighted to commend it. Written for the person who is fine on the surface, but underneath there is a crisis - which is most of us! But as you'll see, you have to trust Jesus to take over. So do you think you can trust Him? | Many people wrongly assume that Jesus came to persuade us to be more religious. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this short and engaging book, Terry Virgo draws on his own personal experience, and explains from John’s gospel that Jesus came so that we can enjoy the gift of abundant life. He shows how Jesus is able to meet all our needs, especially our urgent need to get right with God for eternity. This is an ideal resource for people who are investigating the Christian faith. It will introduce them to Jesus and encourage them to take up his offer of the best possible life. | Terry Virgo makes a familiar story about a wedding come alive – and adds a challenge that will transform your life! | With beautiful simplicity, practical wisdom, and biblical truth Terry Virgo invites every true seeker to meet the true Jesus who shapes lives for good. | Terry Virgo has a great gift for explaining deep truth very simply. My own life has been transformed through reading his books, and I've no doubt that this short book will transform many other lives too. | Having had the privilege of knowing Terry for many years, I’ve always found something very refreshing and life-giving about him – a joy and peace that comes from his strong relationship with Jesus Christ. This wonderful little book, Life Tastes Better contains many of the principles that undergird Terry’s own experience: an experience that can be yours, too, if you read and receive! | A charming, short and very readable introduction to Christianity, through the lens of a very surprising story. Bright, clear and illuminating. | Terry Virgo wasn't always a Christian. But he dedicated his life to God as a young man. Over the decades since he has tasted and seen that living for Jesus is better than all the world has to offer. Allow Terry to introduce you to Jesus too through this great little book. | This book is a brilliant introduction to Jesus, the real man who was God. I would recommend it to everyone searching for God, or those new to Christianity, helping people take those first faith steps into a transformed miraculous life. | People are hungry for God and often go searching but find religion or something less. Terry takes you straight to Jesus. He takes the first miracle Jesus performed, turning water into wine at a wedding, shows us Jesus in a powerful way. I highly recommend this to all my friends looking for Jesus and those wanting to know him better. I read everything Terry writes. | Terry Virgo invites us to encounter the real Jesus of Nazareth - a Jesus who is often provocative, almost always surprising and who ultimately comes to take charge of our lives. This Jesus is the one who changes everything! | By explaining a well known gospel miracle and the challenge to be a radical and obedient follower of Jesus, Terry makes this short book a very useful part of the reader's journey to faith. | A real wedding. A real crisis. A real solution. If Jesus cares this much about the details of a wedding, imagine how much he cares about our lives. That is what this book is about. God cares about you.
A superb introduction to the person and work of Jesus. Reading it from cover to cover could be the most important fifteen minutes of your life. | Terry has provided a concise and beautiful summary of how Jesus truly brings the better wine – the better and more abundant life – to all who believe in Him! For anyone wanting to understand who Jesus is, what he has done to change your life, and how you might respond in faith, this book is for you. | Becoming a Christian is really quite simple, but it has a profound impact on our lives at the same time. In this short book, Terry Virgo describes the life-changing impact that happens when Jesus comes into our lives. He comes into our ordinary everyday messy lives, and changes them for the better. This is a speedy read, with a powerful message! | Life Tastes Better is a short and punchy new give-away book from Terry Virgo, the founder of the Newfrontiers network of churches. It’s aimed at – and ideal for – those who are wanting to explore the Christian faith, demonstrating the life-changing surprise Jesus brings.
