The Little Him Book - Looking at the Jesus who makes our hearts sing - Paperback

Christianity Is About Christ. But Has That Truth Really Gripped Your Heart?

One of the most famous verses in the Bible declares that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son — so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. You may have heard it hundreds of times. You may be able to quote it from memory. But has it truly gripped your heart? Has the reality of who Jesus is — and what it means to believe in him — become the centre of your identity, your worship, your love, and your life?

Peter Mead wrote The Little Him Book because Christianity is about Christ. Not about a system of beliefs. Not about a set of moral standards. Not about religious practices or church attendance or personal improvement. About him. And when him fades from the centre — when Jesus becomes one element among many rather than the sun around which everything else orbits — something essential has been lost.

This small, warm, and genuinely compelling book is a call to return. To rediscover Jesus. To see him more clearly, know him more deeply, love him more truly, and make him — not just in theory but in the daily reality of life — the centre of everything. It is a book for anyone who wants to get to know Jesus better and delight in him more.

What This Book Covers

Peter Mead draws readers back to Jesus — the heart of Christianity — with warmth, clarity, and genuine devotion:

• Christianity is about Christ — A fresh, compelling restatement of the most basic truth of the Christian faith — and why returning to it changes everything
• The one God gave — A rich, devotional exploration of who Jesus is — the Son God gave out of love for the world — and why knowing him is the heart of eternal life
• Jesus as the centre of identity — What it means for Christ to be not just part of your life but the centre of who you are — shaping how you see yourself and how you live
• Jesus as the centre of worship — How knowing Jesus more truly transforms worship from an activity into a response — from going through motions to genuine, joyful adoration
• Jesus as the centre of love — How delighting in Jesus reshapes our loves — ordering and purifying everything else we love in the light of the one who is most worthy of love
• Jesus as the centre of life — What it looks like in practice for Jesus to be the centre not just of Sunday morning but of every ordinary moment of every ordinary day
• Getting to know him better — A warm, practical invitation to pursue a deeper, more personal, more delighted knowledge of Jesus Christ

What Readers Will Learn

• Why Christianity is, at its heart, about a person — Jesus Christ — and what is lost when he fades from the centre
• Who Jesus is — freshly and compellingly presented in a way that is designed to rekindle wonder, love, and delight
• What it means for Jesus to be the centre of identity — and how knowing him transforms the way we understand ourselves
• How genuine worship flows from a genuine, growing knowledge of who Jesus is — and why more of him is always the answer to dry or formal worship
• What it looks like for love of Jesus to order and shape all the other loves of our lives
• How to pursue a deeper, more joyful, more personal knowledge of Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of daily life
• Why delighting in Jesus more is not a spiritual extra for especially devoted Christians but the heartbeat of what Christianity actually is
