Encounters With Jesus' by Timothy Keller is a gem of a book. Each chapter focuses on Jesus' relationship with a different person he  encountered during His life on earth: from Nathaniel to the woman at the well; from Nicodemus to Mary, Jesus' own mother - among others. Keller is a true theologian but there is nothing dry about his work - he writes with such warmth and my soul is often thrilled at the end of each chapter. I've read this several times and reckon I will revisit it again. 

I think this book is best digested one chapter at a time as there is so much to dwell on before moving on to the next part.
