Written by Nicky Gumbel, the pioneer of Alpha and vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in London from 2005 to 2022, it explores why we need Jesus and how he satisfies our hunger for meaning and purpose in life, for life beyond death, and for forgiveness.

Exploring Jesus' claims, character and death, Nicky uses effortlessly uncomplicated language to talk about the freedom we receive from guilt, addition, and fear, and the freedom to know God, to love other people, and to change.
