From the rear cover

If someone asked you, "What do I need to believe to be a Christian?" what would you say?

At a time when truth is up for grabs, a journalist-turned-pastor wants to help you understand what you believe and why. How? By using the simple lyrics to a beloved song:

"Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so."

In this winsome book, bestselling author John S. Dickerson clearly and faithfully explains essential Christian beliefs and powerfully illustrates why these beliefs matter. Whether you're just testing the waters of faith or you long for a simple way to understand and talk about your beliefs, let this easy-to-read book be your guide to the unchanging truths of Christianity.


"Most Christians would tell you they believe the Bible to be God's Word. And yet many of those same Christians could not even articulate what the core beliefs are to the Christian faith. In Jesus Loves Me, John Dickerson does a great job of helping believers understand the basic teachings of Scripture. This is a great resource for any Christian who needs to build a stronger foundation to their faith."--Steve Poe, lead pastor of Northview Church, Carmel, Indiana
