You can know everything about a man and still never have met him.For more than thirty years, Pastor Roy Mack has been asking people one question, many times over a cup of coffee: Do you know Jesus, or do you only know about Him?It is not a word game. It is the difference between religion and a relationship. Between hoping you are going to Heaven and knowing it. And according to Jesus Himself, in what may be the most sobering passage in all of Scripture, it is a difference that sincere, hard-working, religious people can miss for an entire lifetime."Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven... And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you.'"Inside this short book:• Why religion, any religion, leaves you carrying the weight yourself• What Jesus meant by "I never knew you," and who He was saying it to• The difference between believing in Jesus and being known by Him• Five things to settle in your heart before you receive Christ• A prayer you can pray, and a place to write the date you prayed itWritten for anyone who is searching, wondering, or simply not sure. Written just as much for the person who has sat in church for years and never once been certain."You may not want to go to Heaven, but you can't stay here."Short enough to read in one sitting. Clear enough to hand to a friend.Roy Mack is the Senior Pastor of Grace Fellowship Church in Niles, Ohio, where he has served since 2013. He has spent more than thirty years in full-time pastoral ministry and has ministered on mission fields around the world. He and his wife April have four grown daughters and ten grandchildren.
