How do I know and follow Jesus? What is the Gospel? How does the Gospel work? How does God want me to live?
Simply Jesus is a book by author Derek Leman. A Realtor and writer in Atlanta, Georgia, Derek was formerly a pastor. Derek’s focus is explaining faith in Jesus with practical help for those who want to follow Jesus daily in the real world. In doing so, he distills and simplifies great scholarship on the Bible and theology with a practical focus on living the way Jesus intended. Like all of Jesus’s other apprentices, Derek is a work in progress.
There are a number of distinctive beliefs at the heart of Derek’s writing. Faith is a gift from God, not a human accomplishment. God seeks us first and we respond to him. In fact, we were chosen before time to share in the inner life of the Trinity. There is no legitimacy to any kind of religious boasting, since all goodness comes from God and flows through us from him. God is absolutely for us, not against us—and he is for all of us, each and every one, all the way down to death. And if you want to see God, just look at Jesus.
