'In this wonderful book, John Pritchard draws you into twenty of Jesus' most important questions, which ring as true today as ever they did. I loved it.' PAULA GOODER, CHANCELLOR OF ST PAUL'S CATHEDRAL, LONDON We usually think of Jesus as preaching and teaching, but throughout the gospels he is often asking questions - searching enquiries, that disarm the hearers into responding unreservedly and provide some of the most profound lessons in the New Testament. But what were the questions that Jesus asked? And how can we learn from them today? Twenty Questions Jesus Asked explores just that. Over four distinct sections, John Pritchard explores twenty of Jesus' conversations by imagining the experience of those being questioned and reflecting on their significance for us as modern Christians. With contemporary stories, questions for reflection and prayer exercises, Twenty Questions Jesus Asked is a brilliant book for both individual and small group use. With his characteristic grounded thoughtfulness, John Pritchard guides us through Jesus' questions and helps us better understand the lessons he was trying to impart, so that we can grow as disciples and apply Jesus' wisdom to every day life.

In Twenty Questions Jesus Asked, John Pritchard explores Jesus' gift of asking penetrating questions to open us up to new possibilities and the prospect of change.

Reviews
In this wonderful book, John Pritchard draws you into twenty of Jesus' most important questions, which ring as true today as ever they did. I loved it. -- Paula Gooder, Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, London on Twenty Questions Jesus Asked
With his usual wisdom and good humour, John Pritchard writes for anyone and everyone curious about the varied work of ministry. This book will refresh and illuminate your perspective on what it means to participate in the growing of God's Kingdom. -- Helen-Ann Hartley, Bishop of Ripon on Handbook of Christian Ministry
Unusually honest . . . superbly well focused. -- Rowan Williams on God Lost and Found
A very good book by an exceptional leader . . . takes one back to the face of Christ and the realities of Christian discipleship. -- Justin Welby on Living Faithfully
Dipping again into John Pritchard's The Life and Work of a Priest for this review reminded me what a remarkable, wise, and humane book it is. It covers just about everything parish life might throw at clergy. Well, not quite everything. If you're troubled by sylvan revels or cohabiting bandits, I'm afraid you're on your own. * Church Times *
