What if your Jesus is shaped more by culture than by Scripture?
There’s no shortage of ways to fill the minutes of our days―from doomscrolling to binge-watching TV to playing video games. But will you find what you are really looking for on a screen? There’s something missing in our lives, and we all feel it.
In our instant world, Jesus has been ignored, forgotten, and reduced. He’s a life coach dedicated to our success, a therapist for our anxiety, a political ally for our causes, or a genie for our desires. In the process, we overlook the only one who can rescue us from ourselves.
If Jesus walked into the room right now, would you recognize him?
In The Missing Messiah, pastors and bestselling authors Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan, and Mark Moore, author of Core 52, team together to help you:
grow in your conviction of who Jesus is and what he’ll do in your lifecut through the cultural chaos and live the life Jesus promisedmove from a transactional relationship with Jesus to a deep and intimate onetrace the prophecies around the Messiah through Scripture, uncovering the authentic identity of Christground your life on the truth that can empower and transform
The Missing Messiah is your breakthrough to fully experience Jesus not merely as savior but as King―penetrating every depth and breadth of your life.

Your churches best “NEXT” resource
This is so good. I received it yesterday and haven’t been able to put it down.I truly believe this has the potential to become an incredible resource for pastors and church leaders. I can easily see churches using it to shape sermon series, guide small group studies, and even serve as a helpful pre-read for leadership teams walking through strategic planning.One thing that really stood out to me was the humility behind the writing process. Mark and Kyle clearly poured their hearts into this project while keeping their egos out of it. Not many leaders or authors would be willing to share the platform the way they have, and that spirit comes through in the pages.If you’re a pastor, church leader, or someone who cares about helping the church lead well and stay focused on its mission, this is absolutely worth your time.

Let’s get Jesus right!!
Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down!! Such a great book and a timely subject. Does such a great job focusing on who Jesus is, not who we’ve made him to be. Jesus is so much more than a means to an end (a way to get into heaven). I will definitely be reading this book over and over again as I use it in my own teaching and preaching.

Challenge accepted
This is NOT a who-done-it mystery. It IS a great book about sharing Christ with everyone you meet, Christ is so much more than a personal friend and confidant. He is more than a personal coach. He is those and so much more. So much more that you should share Him with everyone you can!

A truly revolutionary book
A truly revolutionary book. The Missing Messiah courageously and compassionately exposes the ways many of us have misunderstood who Jesus really is—and what it actually means to follow him today. Kyle Idleman and Mark Moore don’t offer a softer or safer Jesus; they help us rediscover the real Messiah. You’ll find yourself rethinking not only what you believe about the Messiah, but how those beliefs shape your daily life and discipleship. The Missing Messiah will change the way you see Jesus—and that might just change your life too.

Absolutely enlightening. Things I never thought of before. Funny in parts but so uplifting and biblical. So much more than the Jesus I learned about in Sunday school.
