About This paperback
The tenderness of Jesus can be one of the most life-sustaining things of creation. We can see it in the people around us and we can see it in the Bible, such as in accounts of Jesus himself, especially his dealings with the widow of Nain. Many people may find it difficult to receive the tenderness of God, but, like Peter confronted with his rooftop vision, we may be called to a new understanding and a fresh revelation. Do we experience the tenderness of Jesus?
The extreme Jesus was actually, from a divine perspective, not extreme at all. After all, Jesus only ever did what he saw his Father doing.;Some of his behaviour may seem trivial or mundane to us while other actions appear dramatic, such as clearing out the temple with a knotted rope, asserting that a dying girl was actually asleep and would soon be awake, or being extremely rude to important people. All of his actions reveal his total commitment to obedience. Whatever needed to be done would be done, regardless of how it would appear to human eyes. Is Jesus the solid ground on which our feet stand? With him at the centre of our lives are we willing and able to be extreme for God in the big and little and mild and dramatic and banal and bizarre acts of service that are required of us? Each of the three sections is accompanied by personal experiences of encountering Jesus, safe, tender and extreme, some of them very raw indeed, and the book ends with a selection of prayers for readers who would like to respond to the issues that have been covered.

Adrian: funny, touching and passionate about Jesus - Bill from Sevenoaks
Fans of Adrian Plass will like this book. It is laugh-out-loud funny, demonstrates deep and sympathetic insight into Christians' frailties, and shows how much he loves Jesus. It is more about Adrian Plass than it is about Jesus, and if you realise that in advance you probably won't mind: it is his genre. I suspect that Adrian Plass has a great book in him, but this isn't it. It is too rambling and self-indulgent to offer a coherent picture of Jesus. However, this won't put off his many fans.
