12 Answers that Rock this World
Exploring the World View of Jesus
through the Concern and Curiosity of the Disciples
Available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback
“Jesus’ disciples had an amazing and unique opportunity to walk with God Himself as they did life and ministry with Jesus. Stephen De La Vega’s 12 Answers that Rock this World gives us a window into what it would have been like to walk in the shoes of the twelve men who lived most closely with Jesus. This study puts us into the minds of Jesus’ apprentices as we wrestle with the questions that came out of their mouths as they journeyed with their Messiah. If you want to spend time with Jesus and wrestle alongside the apostles, pick up this study!”

“Stephen De La Vega unpackages who Jesus is and how His words and ways apply to today’s world in an engaging and relatable way. I loved the thought provoking questions and well organized Series Snapshot that summarizes each chapter’s main ideas, key verses and primary focus. I found the study to be thoughtful, challenging and relevant. It’s an excellent study for small groups or anyone wanting to grow deeper in their faith and understanding.”

About the Series
Jesus invited the 12 disciples to follow Him, to be His inner circle. For three years they walked and talked with Him. Jesus taught them and He explained His plan. They witnessed firsthand His compassion, His miracles, and how He focused on His mission.
While they listened and while they watched, the disciples wondered. They watched Jesus say and do things out of the ordinary. He was unconventional and untraditional, yet He was always right. They pondered His ways with amazement, and they had questions.
Matthew cites 12 of their questions in his gospel account. They surely asked more than 12 questions, and we even see more in the other gospels, but what really matters is Jesus’ answers. His answers tell us about people. They help us understand people, ourselves, what we can be, and what is really important to Him. Jesus’ answers rocked the world of the disciples, and they still rock our world today.
Topics include: Religion, understanding Scripture, faith, forgiveness, honor, loyalty, greatness, and more.

Each session is written so that first time leaders can read the material or simply refer to it and, either way, have meaningful, life-challenging discussions. Leaders should purchase only the Leader Guide because the Participant Guide contains only excerpts of the Leader Guide in addition to all of the discussion questions.
