Book excerpt: “Make sure this new guide for living is on your shelf.” —Max Lucado This 15th anniversary of the bestselling classic The Jesus Creed invites us to rediscover the core of biblical Christianity: Loving God and Loving Others. Memorizing the Great Commandment is one thing, but living by it is quite another. One of today’s most engaging and sought-after Biblical scholars, Scot McKnight demystifies this ancient creed and reveals its power to transform the lives of believers today. He explores how Jesus connected the ancient Jewish commandments to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength” and to “Love your neighbor as yourself” to become the foundation of his ministry. In The Jesus Creed, his seminal work, Scot invites followers of Jesus to step back into the world in which Jesus lived and to hear his core teachings like we’ve never heard them before. And just like his disciples, we discover how praying the Jesus Creed will close the gap between the people we are right now and the people God created us to be. In The Jesus Creed, you will: Learn about the identities, hopes and struggles of the people closest to Jesus – Joseph and Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, and John Discover how Jesus's radical acts of compassion restore those who are marginalized, oppressed, or grieving Discover how the Jesus Creed can shape society to grow in justice, faith, and joy Discover how the Jesus Creed deepens our love for Jesus, leading to healing, forgiveness and wholeness in our personal lives

Start when kids are little, start with books that become their favorites that they want to return to over and over again. This book is profoundly and delightfully that. Foundational, critical truths told in the warmth of story and the brilliance of memorable illustrations, this is one for every home of faith. If a generation of children made the words in these pages their creed, it'd change the world -- and eternity." --Ann Voskamp, author of the New York Times bestsellers One Thousand Gifts and The Greatest Gift "Every young family can read this together, not just once but often. If kids can grow up and embrace the Jesus Creed at work, it will impact their faith and future." --Reggie Joiner, CEO, Orange "God's design -- from children to parents to grandparents -- is love. We cannot begin teaching our children soon enough that following in the way of Jesus is to love God and to love others. Sharing God's Love is a wonderful place to begin with your children and your church." --Andy Stanley, North Point Church "Like all parents, Aaron and I are always on the hunt for ways to teach big ideas to our little people, and this book makes it easy. I love the illustrations, and I love that by the end, my kids have learned a creed they can carry with them, through childhood and beyond." --Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine "Parents desiring to raise their children in the Christian faith instinctively want to help their children learn to love God and love others. However, talking about spiritual things can often feel abstract and difficult to translate. This delightful books serves as a great resource for parents who want to show their kids what loving God and others looks like. Further, it can serve as a springboard that introduces a "language of faith" into everyday family conversations. Read it. Read it again and again. And adopt the story into your own family rhythms." --Steven Argue, Pastor and Theologian-in-Residence, Mars Hill Bible Church Adjunct Professor of Youth Ministry, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary "I am always on the look out for books that come along side the work of pastoring small children, and Sharing God's Love: The Jesus Creed for Children, is such a book. It beautifully and simply shows theological truth at work in the spiritual lives of children, the exact kind of thinking, knowing, and being I encourage in the lives of our own children on a weekly basis." --Stephanie Booth, Minister to Children, Church of the Redeemer (Anglican)
