Book Cover & Preview Text
ARE YOU A SPECIAL FRIEND OF JESUS? "Oh, no, Lord," you cry. "I’d like to be, but I’m not that important." What would you say if Jesus asked you to be His special friend? "I wouldn’t know what to say," you stammer, "except maybe, who am I that He should ask me that?" Only one that He loves – and died for! "But what about all the others?" you ask That’s the beauty of being God – I can have a special relationship with each one, without ever leaving anyone out. Besides, I have made you unique. There’s nobody quite like you – never has been, never will be. Jesus wants you to be His special friend in a way that no-one else ever could. It doesn’t take away from their opportunities, or stop them from being an equally special friend. "What do I have to do?" you ask, intrigued. Appropriate it for yourself – take it, and make it yours. Say "Dear Lord Jesus, I don’t understand this at all, but I accept what Father has told me, and I want to be Your friend – Your special friend. I’m so glad You are my friend." And then spend time with Him as you would with your other friends. Chat to Him, laugh with Him, share your tears, your pain, your frustrations . . . Don’t pray! That’s too much like hard work – just enjoy Jesus! The more you relax with Him and share your inner world with Him – your thoughts, your hopes, your desires – the more aware of Him you will become. And the more you will experience the joy and love of Jesus flooding your soul, your heart. He will truly become your all-in-all.

About the Book
How well do you know God? How do you feel when you sin? How fervently do you pray? How important are you? All these, and many more, are the questions we sometimes ask ourselves – and don’t really know the answers. God wants us to know – to know the answers, but, more importantly, to know Him. God desires to reveal Himself to us – He does this through the Bible, through sermons, through friends, through nature, through circumstances and through books. These messages will encourage you, inspire you, comfort you and strengthen your faith. Many have testified that the messages were exactly what they needed to hear, and when they needed to hear it, when they phoned in. Use them in a devotional way, for meditation, or simply read them to enjoy your God! He wants you to know above all else that He delights in you. (Zephaniah ch. 3 v 17)
About the Author
Tony Pitwood has been sharing these messages over the last fourteen years. They are, he believes, the result of divine inspiration. They were born out of a desire to share something with his home-cell, and developed into a regular sharing with them, and then with the congregation. He transcribed the messages just as they came to him, which is why they are in the first person. His sincerest wish is that the readers will be helped, encouraged, and comforted by these messages. Isaiah 50 v 4 "The Sovereign LORD has given me His words of wisdom, so that I know what to say to all these weary ones. Morning by morning He wakens me and opens my understanding to His will."
