Have you ever wondered what Jesus was like? Not long ago New York Times Bestselling author Susy Flory sat down and wrote a three word post on a popular social media outlet that started with ‘Jesus Was…’ The simple post sparked a lively conversation and turned into one post a day for 30 days. Now there’s a book published by Kregel and edited by Susy Flory and Scott Johanningsmeier called ‘Jesus Was: Not What We Expected but Better Than We Imagined’.
Susy is a New York Times bestselling author and she directs West Coast Christian writers and is the founder of Everything Memoir.
Scott is a bivocational pastor at Elizabeth Baptist Church in Southern Indiana.
