Big Jesus: Stories of Faith That Expose the Boxes We Put Him In

by Aaron W. Smith

BIG JESUS is a collection of real life stories about how God has moved in miraculous ways to display the magnitude of just how big He is. Aaron's personal storytelling is a relatable and enjoyable read about his everyday testimonies that display and magnify Jesus to be bigger than we could ask or think. Aaron poses the “ What if King Jesus is bigger than we know? What if we have barely scratched the surface of who He is?” From life-changing provision, to a laptop battery miracle, to reconciliation that only Jesus could have brought forth, Aaron’ s approachable and compelling storytelling takes us on a journey that incites wonder and begs the question, “ What if Jesus is bigger than the boxes I have put Him in?"

Touched my heart so deeply and made me tender towards the extravagant love of Jesus. He really does exceed any expectation we put on Him

I hope that at the end of my life, it will be evident that there is nothing in my life as big as Jesus :’)

This book was an answered prayer. It was so simple, yet so thought provoking. It made me cry, but also made me laugh. It was theological, but practical. It shattered hundreds of boxes I have put Jesus in. Thank you Aaron for writing such a heartfelt book. It felt like a hug from Jesus and everything I needed to hear in this moment. It encouraged me to give my finances to the Lord and that He is big enough to do ANYTHING. In summary, it was like a Bob Goff book..each chapter with a story always leaving me on the edge of my seat infused with the Holy Spirit. LOVED IT!

I loved this book so much! These stories truly opened up my eyes and shattered so many boxes I had around the way God operated. Expect a heavy impartation of faith after reading this book. Your view of God will change drastically in a way of seeing him bigger and bigger. A bigger view of God and radical faith is the cure to hopelessness in this generation. Highly recommend to anyone that wants a bigger view of God, which should be every single person in Christ!

This was a sweet & simple story book that gives God the glory for incredible testimonies woven Aaron’s life. No matter the size of the testimony, Aaron beautifully illustrates how big God truly is—far beyond our natural tendency to place Him in a box. One of my favorite elements was the way each chapter ended with a prayer, inviting the reader to pause, reflect, and respond alongside him.

This book was good as! I've followed upperroom Dallas for a few years now, and love Aaron's preaching and podcast 'The Handlebar Podcast' so had to get this. So easy to read and relate too. I felt the Holy Spirit speak through it! If you enjoy Christian non fiction I recommend 👌🏻

Simple, yet profoundly engaging

This book is such a faith builder whilst being profoundly authentic and real. There is a tremendous joy and grace in which he tells his own stories of how big Jesus is within our everyday.

a beautiful collection of stories that made me smile and well up with tears at different times. get like sitting down to coffee and hearing someone’s story of how they’ve seen Jesus move in their life. his storytelling is reminiscent of Bob Goff in the best way. tender read.
