Product Highlights
"In this book my friend Skip Heitzig-pastor of one of America's premier Churches and a gifted Bible teacher whose ministry extends around the world-will help you to know Jesus Christ up close." "Skip has a rare balance of Biblical depth and cultural relevance. His Insights are probing and down-to-earth. This book will bring you closer to Christ." "This book will lead you to the all-sufficiency of Jesus, as was shown in the way His life touched a full spectrum of people with a variety of needs." In Jesus Up Close, Skip Heitzig details how Christ impacted many peoples lives during His ministry here on the earth. This book explores how Christ interacted with many different people: John the Baptist, Nicodemus, The Samaritan Women at the Well, Saul of Tarsus, Matthew, Peter, James, John, and Thomas, just to name a few. About the Author Skip Heitzig is a native of southern California and experienced the volatile days of the counter-culture in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. Though raised in a religious home, Skip saw religion as a dead-end street with no answers. In 1973 Skip left his family’s home and moved to the San Francisco Bay area to enroll in college and escape his Christian friends who were trying to “convert” him. But God had a different plan for Skip’s life. One day, alone in his brother’s apartment in San Jose, Skip was watching TV and became mesmerized by Billy Graham. The gospel message penetrated Skip’s soul, and he knelt down and prayed to receive Christ. Skip returned to southern California and studied under Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa until 1981. In 1982, Skip began a home Bible study which eventually grew into Calvary of Albuquerque. Today, Calvary of Albuquerque ministers to over 13,500 adults and their children every weekend and has spun off over 40 churches internationally. Skip, along with Lenya and their son Nathan, moved back to California in January 2004 to serve as senior pastor at Ocean Hills Community Church in San Juan Capistrano. Skip served in this capacity until July 2006, when he and Lenya returned to Albuquerque to once again serve as senior pastor at Calvary of Albuquerque. Skip continues to reach out to many people across the nation and throughout the world through his multimedia ministry, which includes a nationwide half-hour radio program called The Connection. In addition to teaching God’s Word, Skip helps equip others for living according to God’s principles through his writings. Recent books include Upon This Rock, When God Prays, and How to Study the Bible and Enjoy It. He has also published a Lifestyle Series of booklets, including Jesus, Friend of Children, explaining what happens to children when they die, and Wanted: Dead or Alive?, based on the reality of the resurrection. Each year, Skip hosts a week long seminar of teachings at The Cove, the Billy Graham Training Center in North Carolina. He is also a frequent guest speaker at Franklin Graham Festivals and Harvest Crusades with Greg Laurie. Heitzig earned his B.A. and M.A. from Trinity Seminary. In 2009, he was given an honorary doctorate of Divinity by the Gospel for Asia Biblical Seminary in Cochin, India.
