In a world captivated by fame, influence, and recognition, the longing to matter has never been more apparent. Whether striving for the spotlight or following those who have found it, people everywhere are searching for significance and a way to leave a lasting mark on the world.
Jesus speaks directly to this deep human desire for purpose and significance. His life and leadership reveal a different kind of greatness-one rooted not in status, but in surrender, service, and eternal influence. More than ever, we need His example to guide us toward a life that truly matters.
Still Amazing explores the life of Jesus and the qualities that made His impact unlike any other in history-an influence that continues to transform lives today. By examining His discipline, prayer life, anointing, and heart of servanthood, readers will uncover timeless principles for creating lasting change in their own lives and in the world around them.
Rather than continuing to live a life that is ordinary, be challenged to follow Jesus' example. In doing so, you will follow in the footsteps of One Who is Still Amazing.
"In Still Amazing, Christian Ballenger outlines a refreshingly practical model for the Christian who longs to live a life of purpose and impact, as Jesus did. Rich in Scripture, expository biblical explanation, and application, this book will benefit both the seasoned believer looking to sharpen his or her sense of personal mission and the new believer desiring to learn more about the life of Jesus and how to follow Him."

The author has managed to make the life of Jesus relevant today-bringing Jesus' real experiences into our contemporary context. This book offers unique perspectives on Jesus' humanity, while also fully upholding His divinity. Still Amazing holds Jesus up as the Model for the Christian to live toward."

"Ballenger, with fresh eyes and a refreshing voice, takes us on a journey of Christ not often highlighted: the Student to Servant. His insights into Christ's life, journey, and impact are worth reading. Ballenger's application is even more so worth implementing. Read this book and apply this book; your own journey will grow as a result!"

"Christian Ballenger starts and finishes at the right place with the right Person: Jesus! Still Amazing does not merely describe Jesus; it inspires readers to follow Him. By weaving together personal stories, illustrations, and Scriptural insights, Ballenger illuminates the King of kings and challenges us to 'go and do likewise.' What a timely book from a pastor who is a student of Jesus and an eager teacher of His kingdom."
