The Maralene and Miles Wesner Jesus Worldview Library

As part of the Jesus Worldview Initiative, the Wesner Library is an online collection of resources specifically aimed at advocating and advancing the following of Jesus as the defining priority of the Christian faith.

Suggested books, group study materials, sermons and other resources may be submitted for consideration. These various and continually expanding resources are to be thoughtful and applicable for individual learning and/or use in group settings from small to large.

While various topics are interesting and helpful for people of faith, ALL RESOURCES in this online library are singularly focused on seeing and seeking life through the lens of Jesus’ example, teachings and calling.
