It's Not What You Think Review: Review - It's Not What You Think - Overall, Bethke's message resonated with me. I found myself challenged, convicted, refreshed, and alive after reading it. As a theology major, so many of the world-changing things I've learned in my studies were covered here in a way someone who isn't a bible major can understand. That's huge for me, because now I have a resource I can share with friends to show them Jesus in a deeper, more meaningful way. I was tempted to say this book seemed scattered, and misguided, until I put it down. Jeff had a lot to say about *everything.* And that's good. This book presents itself as more of a conversation starter than a closing remark, and I think he intended it to be that way. If at all possible, read it with a friend or small group, because you'll all have plenty to talk about. Some of the other street team members and I hosted a small discussion group broadcast as we read through it, and I can't even tell you how amazing it was. Each page hit us in different ways, and we all had epiphanies and take-aways that differed from each other. No one was left thinking "I already knew that." He leaves no rock unturned, unleashing paradigm after paradigm, blending rich modern scholarship with deep pastoral concern for the Church. That being said, this is a hard hitting title, and I wouldn't recommend trying to read it quickly. I'm a fairly quick reader, and I had to pace myself over two months so I could digest the content. But it's not a dense read. In fact, Jeff is a phenomenal wordsmith, and can make difficult theological concepts easy to digest. But this book is so loaded with so many discussions on different topics, you have to slowly move through each section, making sure you don't miss out on something rich. I'd definitely recommend having a highlighter present. Review: I Love A Book That Inspires Me To Write - I choose 5 stars because I enjoy an easy read from time-to-time. Not a study but simply an enjoyable read. From beginning to end I would highlight certain parts and make a note with the word "quote" as to post it at a later date as a quote. I also enjoyed that Jefferson Bethke’s words inspired me to write. I can’t say I disliked anything but I enjoyed the fact that he shows a Jesus I did not know. He opens up the scripture in ways I did not see. He allowed me to get a glimpse into Jewish culture without flying to Israel. Jefferson, through his words paints a picture that of being a man that is humble and also a man of confession. Not hiding behind a new nature but embracing it with a thorough memory of his past. One last thing I’d like to mention. There has been times in my life that God seems to convey to me that the book I am reading is the book He had intended for me to read. Almost as if He went to His own book shelf and handed over to me my next read as to say: “You’ve gotta read this one!” Jefferson’s “It’s Not What You Think” was just such a book. Thanks for writing it Jefferson. I’d recommend it to all but in particular those who know an apologetic book, a theology book and care to know a more tender look at God. Grab this book and sit at God’s table and read. He’s there waiting to discuss it with you. YOU ARE LOVED. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,367 in Christian Spiritual Growth (Books) #96,037 in Books on CD | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (540) | | Dimensions | 6.5 x 0.63 x 5.5 inches | | Edition | Unabridged | | ISBN-10 | 1501299816 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1501299810 | | Item Weight | 3.5 ounces | | Language | English | | Publication date | October 13, 2015 | | Publisher | Thomas Nelson on Brilliance Audio | ## Images ![It's Not What You Think - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TgvTE8SKL.jpg) ![It's Not What You Think - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41oQCWGCRbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review - It's Not What You Think *by D***W on October 13, 2015* Overall, Bethke's message resonated with me.

When she finished reading it she gave it to me and told me I should read it. I'm about half way through the book and have been highlighting things myself. Jefferson Bethke speaks to this young adult generation from a heart of humility having walked an imperfect challenging path in life himself. He has a sincere heart to help others know the true Jesus in a relational way rather than a traditional 'religious' way. He wants to help people change their lives from the inside out. He is not afraid to approach the Bible with new believers taking on challenging stories and topics and opening them up in a way that points to Jesus' love for every individual. He's refreshingly real and humble and making an impact for Jesus. This book is excellent for anyone questioning who Jesus really is, or believers who want to know how they can communicate with the younger generation about who Jesus really is. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/158052181-its-not-what-you-think](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/158052181-its-not-what-you-think) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
