What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Hard Cover Book) by Chieko N. Okazaki
Item #1-59038-855-0
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Reflecting on these words from a favorite Protestant hymn of her youth, Chieko Okazaki writes with feeling and passion about the personal relationship each of us can have with the Lord Jesus Christ. In doing so, she draws upon experiences she has had with members of the Church around the world.

In chapters with such titles as "My Sister's Keeper," "Living a Firsthand Life," "Feeling Sisterly," and "Living Water," Sister Okazaki invites both men and women readers to examine their faith in the Lord and describes ways she and others have found to turn more earnestly toward Him and trust Him more completely to carry our burdens, lift our spirits, and see us through the tough things each of us has to endure in mortality.

Speaking up especially for those who feel disenfranchised and overlooked in the Church, Sister Okazaki reminds us of our responsibilities as "fellow citizens with the Saints" to succor those around us. She also teaches us to claim the blessings our Savior has in store for us and testifies that the Lord gives and gives until we are fuller than we ever thought possible.

Readers will find in this latest book the refreshing verve they have come to expect from Sister Okazaki, along with a plethora of new, previously unpublished experiences and examples, all presented in the candid and readable style that have made best-sellers of all her books.
