The Discovery

What if there is more to Jesus than what the media portrays? What if there is more to Jesus than what your college professor might tell you? And what if there was a book of the Bible written to counter these common misconceptions about Jesus-to answer skeptics-to expose the truth. Would that change the way you view your life? Would it change your priorities? Values? The Discovery is a 21-day devotional journey through John's Gospel that will challenge you to revisit, or visit for the first time, the Jesus of Scripture. The Jesus who is much more than a distorted icon of pop culture or an obscure figure in history. The Jesus who wants to open your eyes to a lifelong discovery-that your own identity is wrapped up in His. A worship leader and songwriter, Josh Via lives with his family in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his wife travel together leading worship for churches and student/collegiate events. He also serves alongside his dad as the vice president of Rick Via World Reach Ministries, a mission organization committed to taking the Gospel of Jesus to hurting people all across the globe. Educated at Liberty University, North Greenville University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Josh has several degrees and accomplishments that you probably don't care about. His finest accomplishments, however, include his strikingly beautiful and sympathetically patient wife, Tasha, his deviously crafty daughter, Areyna, and his relentlessly hungry son, Ezekiel. He sporadically blogs at www.joshvia.com.
