A scriptural portrait of Jesus beyond cultural shorthand

The Missing Messiah examines how familiar ideas about Jesus—as a source of success, comfort, political support, or personal fulfillment—can narrow Christian understanding of him. Kyle Idleman and Mark Moore frame the book around recovering Jesus’s identity through Scripture, including the prophecies surrounding the Messiah. Its central movement is from a transactional faith toward a deeper relationship with Jesus, presented alongside a call to ground everyday life in that understanding. The book’s focus on spiritual growth connects questions of belief with the ways faith is lived amid contemporary distractions and competing cultural messages.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians interested in deepening their understanding of Jesus through Scripture.
  • Readers exploring Christian spiritual growth and the meaning of a closer relationship with Jesus.
  • Readers interested in how cultural ideas shape religious belief.

Book overview

What if your Jesus is shaped more by culture than by Scripture?

There's no shortage of ways to fill the minutes of our days--from doomscrolling to binge-watching TV to playing video games. But will you find what you are really looking for on a screen? There's something missing in our lives, and we all feel it.

In our instant world, Jesus has been ignored, forgotten, and reduced. He's a life coach dedicated to our success, a therapist for our anxiety, a political ally for our causes, or a genie for our desires. In the process, we overlook the only one who can rescue us from ourselves.

If Jesus walked into the room right now, would you recognize him?

In The Missing Messiah, pastors and bestselling authors Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan, and Mark Moore, author of Core 52, team together to help you:

  • grow in your conviction of who Jesus is and what he'll do in your life
  • cut through the cultural chaos and live the life Jesus promised
  • move from a transactional relationship with Jesus to a deep and intimate one
  • trace the prophecies around the Messiah through Scripture, uncovering the authentic identity of Christ
  • ground your life on the truth that can empower and transform

The Missing Messiah is your breakthrough to fully experience Jesus not merely as savior but as King--penetrating every depth and breadth of your life.
