You: An Introduction
Who are You really?
What are You supposed to be like?
What—or whose—purpose do You serve?
It's never been more complicated—or more confusing—to be a human, and it's never been harder to answer the question of who You are.
But in You: An introduction, Michael Jensen sets about doing just that. In his exploration of some of the different facets of the human condition (You are alive; You are free; You are a child), we soon discover that the question of who we are is essentially bound up with the question of who Jesus is.

The book has been banned by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities from state schools May 6, 2015, on the basis of a "potential risk to students in the delivery of this material, if not taught sensitively and in an age-appropriate manner." The ban was lifted May 18, 2015.

A shallow attempt at Christian philosophy. Not very deep, and lacks understanding of Christian doctrines, while the vague descriptions of morals and Christian duties make me feel like the author is not ready to stand fully up for his belief.

Jensen Journey #1
Well this was not great, it felt more like an exploration in all that is wrong with social media and was just shallow and didn't really challenge me or encourage me or leave me with anything that I could even grasp onto.
Some may love it, it was not for me.
