Why Jesus Cares More About Relationship Than Perfection

Wow such a great read for both long time believers and non believers who are interested in learning more about Jesus. I enjoyed every single page of this book. Highly recommend! Can’t wait for RWJr to write more books!!!

Friend of Sinners is a MUST read! You’ll finish the book with a renewed sense of how deep Jesus loves you and the world, and how we’re all called to do the same. This book conveys His message of love, purpose and service so clearly, and sometimes hilariously, through Rich Wilkerson, Jr's own personal stories and relationships. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone, with Chapter 10 - “How To Be Great” as my favorite. *I received an Advance Reader Copy from Harper Collins Christian Publishers.

This book is absolutely amazing! It is well-written but not too complex to understand; the anecdotes are hilarious and engaging; and Pastor Rich speaks so much truth. I always look forward to reading the book and being filled by the words. I have ordered this book for others, and hope that many continue to read it and be moved by the truth and light that Friend of Sinners espouses.

Wow! I love the way Rich Wilkerson Jr. takes what we as denominations and Christians in general make so complicated and he makes it truly simple. Jesus loves you and He died for you, PERIOD. This book is amazing from start to finish and gives a fresh perspective on how we so often miss the main point of who Jesus is. As a Christian most of my life, I needed this and I recommend it to absolutely everyone! It's a game changer! I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the publisher.

This book impacted me tremendously. What a beautiful depiction of the character of Jesus. This man, who literally cut time in half, is a friend to all people. Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. does an excellent job at explaining and supporting this truth in a fun, creative way.

Whether you’re a believe of Jesus or a skeptic, I believe this book will give you some perspective that you potentially have never considered.

Simple yet powerful message on how to love others. Will challenge some of your mindsets in the best possible way. Love God. Love people. That is our ultimate commandment. Get this book today and buy and extra for a friend!

❤❤❤❤ it really changed my perspective on how I see others. It's hard living this life but when we treat each other as friends and stop focusing on each others faults and just love one another it makes it so much easier. Thanks for the reality check Rich Wilkerson.

Friend of Sinners was AMAZING book! It covered the basics, the Bible & went deeply into the heart and love God has for His people. Rich Wilkerson is hilarious, anointed & a gifted communicator of the Gospel. I’m about to order 5 more to give to my family & friends - read this book! You won’t regret it!

As Christians, this is a perfect reminder/knock in the head that our Lord and Savior was indeed a friend of sinners. Jesus loves everyone, and if we ever want to be more Christ-like, we too need to love everyone and get out of our comfort zone to help those who are not like us. This book is a must-read. It is worth every penny!

Everything about this book is enjoyable, relatable and encouraging. Rich does a great job of painting the picture of the Gospel in a way that will impact people in all walks of life. Whether you are a believer or not, if you feel like you should love people, this book is for you. I received an Advance Reader Copy from Harper Collins Christian Publishers.

WOW! What a book! The message of Friend of Sinners is one that is so needed in today’s society. Pastor Rich conveys the message in a way that is easy to understand and easily relatable. I 100% recommend this book and can’t wait to share it with my friend and family.

What's not to love about this book ??? it speaks to you in a way that isn't all Christiany and stand offish but in real talk so you get the point and at the same time you are getting the MESSAGE. Jesus wants to be our friend and loves us where we are today. Rich Wilkerson did it again.

This book is for our generation. Young or old, our society needs to hear that we should walk in the footsteps of Jesus, and love people. This book is life altering, helping us look at everyone in a different way. Pastor Rich does another outstanding job at communicating his message in this book.

Wow, this book was incredible! If you are a beginner in your faith journey, or have been walking this path for years... this book meets you were you are at and draws you deeper! It calls you out and wraps you in God's love so tight. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about Jesus, or getting to know Him more.

This book was exaclty what I needed. As Christians, we all to often get caught up in feeling "holier than thou." Even in my own family I have heard hateful comments towards people that are different than we are. This book is a great reminder to recall who we were before God came into our lives and a call to encourage Christians to love everyone that they encounter. If you are tired of being labled with the Christian stereotypes, this book is for you.

Great book. I love how Rich points out that following Jesus doesn’t lead to safer living. It leads to risk, sacrifice, and change— creating the most satisfying life imaginable. This book emphasizes that Jesus is our friend because he wants to be, not because we deserve it, and knowing that changes everything. Highly recommend this book and anything Rich Wilkerson, Jr. related.

There is an idea that a relationship with Jesus requires perfection on our part. This book wrecks that theory in a profound way. It teaches its reader that a relationship with Jesus is attainable no matter what stage you are in life. This is a must read!

Amazing book! A beautiful reminder of Jesus' love for people and relationships! Definitely shifted my perspective of how I view God and the relationship I share with him. Thank you for your amazing words, Rich!

Love Pastor Rich and what God is saying through him! Heard him speak in Canada in 2013 at a conference and this guy can preach!! This is an life changing, world shaping kinda book so you gotta read it! Also if you like this one he has another great book called Sandcaste Kings! Love you Pastor Rich!

Friend of Sinners introduces the reader to a Jesus that most are unfamiliar with. For anyone that has a negative preconceived belief or idea of Jesus, I would highly recommend reading this book. I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Harper Collins Christian Publishers

Amazing book that will encourage and challenge you. So many truths that are both good reminders, and hit home. It a good way. Sometimes a beautiful mirror, that helps show a not so "pretty" side of ones self. But, even that is beautiful as that means I'm hoping for change....and open for change.

This book is necessary to read!! We need more books to shows us who Jesus really is so we can live it out in our generation. Rich Wilkerson really put his heart in writing this book to form our generation into one full of love, compassion, friendship.

Rich Wilkerson, Jr. has done a phenomenal job on writing this book. It will change the way that you see anyone that you come in contact with! EYE-OPENER. LIFE CHANGING.
It would benefit anyone who takes the time to read this! You will not regret it!

This book was made for everyone. Everyone searching for a shift in perspective. Everyone yearning to know more about God's heart for us. Everyone who is curious to know more about Jesus. Rich Wilkerson, this is a winner!

Rich Wilkerson simplifies the mystery of a relationship with Jesus. Religion often misrepresents Jesus and gets in the way of the being able to walk with Jesus daily; which is exactly what Rich manages to masterfully present for those of us who struggle with carrying weight on our shoulders that does not belong. Whether you are devout Christian, a newcomer to faith, or a non-believer that is interested, this is a great book to read. There is freedom in walking with Jesus, not in religion.

This book was exaclty what I needed. As Christians, we all to often get caught up in feeling "holier than thou."
