“Intensely personal and yet universal, Hamlin’s words draw us toward Christ.”

"Rick's book, Everlasting Jesus, is a refreshing invitation to personalize who Jesus is, no matter your stage of life, where you live, or where you are in your spiritual journey. The bite-sized stories and reflections make this a deep yet simplified devotional you can implement directly in your life or give as a gift to someone who yearns to know more of Jesus and how to make him relevant in today's culture."

“I have long admired Rick Hamlin’s writing, and no more so than in his newest book, Everlasting Jesus: Forty Days of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living. Rick shows us how in a world torn by conflict and strife, a relationship with Jesus can be both intimate and universal. For Rick, that relationship represents the spiritual foundation of daily living and a willingness to go wherever Jesus leads.” —Edward Grinnan, Editor-in-Chief, Guideposts Magazine, and author of Always By My Side 

“In his book Everlasting Jesus, Rick Hamlin invites the reader into conversation as he takes us on a journey with Jesus. Using the parables and miracle stories from the Gospels, Hamlin asks the reader to ponder the matters that are at the heart of Jesus’s message to every one of us then and now. He offers insight into the character of Jesus as a teacher of timeless wisdom by asking pointed questions at the end of each of the 40 short chapters. Hamlin’s intimate style is infused with humor and self-disclosure making us feels as if we are sitting by the fireplace with him and learning together. This book is for those who are new to Christianity and for those who, in these polarized times, are looking to meet Jesus again.”

“What started as a quest to better explain to a friend what it means to follow Jesus, Rick Hamlin masterfully wove together a delightful collection of 40 devotions that are relatable, thought-provoking, and Biblically sound. Through his own personal stories and timeless Biblical text, he captures the attention of someone hearing Biblical truths for the first time, as well as those desiring a fresh perspective. Simple questions about the foundational truths that are life-giving can be answered in Everlasting Jesus: 40 Days of Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living. As I read through the conversational style of writing, followed by gentle prompts at the end of each chapter, I found myself savoring each page.”

“Rick Hamlin writes that Jesus himself didn’t leave us a book. So that’s what Rick does here—creating a book that helps us ponder the good, wonderful, and spiritual things Jesus was trying to talk about and do. It’s not just for words, but life.”
