Transforming Presence: How Being with Jesus Changes Everything by David Drury

For every well-intentioned soul who has worked hard only to fail at some new angle on spirituality, there is reason–your inner power to change yourself is unsustainable. That kind of power doesn’t come from within, it comes from without. Author David Drury explores how and why sustainable spiritual life is not about knowing what it takes; it’s knowing who it takes . . . and it isn’t you. Drury engages his audience with Jesus’ transforming presence through the eyes of the people who encountered him personally, inviting you to walk alongside them through the first half of John’s gospel.
