In “Experience Jesus. Really.,” John Eldredge invites readers to move beyond secondhand spirituality and into a real, daily relationship with Christ. Noticing how digital noise is crowding out spiritual awareness, he introduces the idea of the “ordinary mystic” — someone who creates space to notice God in everyday life.
The book blends spiritual practices with practical guidance for quieting the constant input of modern life. “We are, all of us, disciples of the Internet,” Eldredge writes. “You are a disciple of the system that tutors you, where you turn on a daily basis for guidance on living.” His goal is to help readers shift that attention toward Jesus — gently, without formulas.
Alongside the book, Eldredge includes a study guide and five-session video series, making it a helpful tool for small groups or quiet reflection.
The focus isn’t on big spiritual experiences but on becoming more aware of God’s presence in the ordinary. Eldredge offers a simple but meaningful reminder: we’re invited to know Jesus — not just in theory, but in the rhythms of our actual lives.
