"Like Jesus" is a book that encourages and challenges Christians who have been saved but still live as they did before.
By examining Jesus' compassionate heart, his intimate relationship with God, patience, and forgiveness as revealed in the Bible, we learn what God's will is for us and how we can live like Jesus.

Where did we learn the idea that people don't change? "It's in my nature to worry." "I'll spend my whole life pessimistic."
That's me." "I have a bad temper.
"I can't help it." Where do all these words come from? Who the hell says that? Are you really going to say the same thing about your own body? "A broken leg is just who I am.
"I have no choice but to just leave it alone." That's ridiculous.
When something breaks down in our body, we seek help.
Shouldn't our hearts be the same? Shouldn't we seek help for our distorted attitudes? Are we saying we can't seek treatment for selfish words? No.
It is possible.
Jesus can change our hearts.
He wants us to have His heart.

From “The Heart of Jesus”

If your experience of faith is indirect rather than direct, I would like to challenge you.
Do you do the same with other areas of your life? Probably not.
If it's a vacation, I wouldn't do it that way.
“Packing and going back and forth is a hassle, even taking a vacation.
I need to send someone else instead.
When that person comes back, you can hear everything.
"You can avoid all the inconvenience." Would you do that? That's ridiculous! What you want is first-hand experience.
See for yourself and rest for yourself.
There are things that others cannot do for you.
One of those things is spending time with God.

From "Listening to God's Music"

You have to admit that some part of our mind is already littered with garbage.
Even if a small piece of trash comes knocking on the door, we open it wide.
Even if anger comes rushing in, let it in.
Even if revenge finds a place to stay, it gives you a chair.
If compassion wants a party, she leads you to the kitchen.
When lust rings the doorbell, bring out a new blanket.
Are you saying we don't even know how to refuse?

From "Greenhouse of the Mind"

God rewards those who seek him.
They are not those who seek doctrine, religion, system, or creed.
Many settle for such lowly aspirations, but the reward belongs to those who cannot be satisfied with anything less than Jesus Himself.
What is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? It is the very heart of Jesus.
