What we behold, we become.
That's the heartbeat of Looking to Jesus: Beholding Him to Become Like Him. In a distracted and disoriented world, Pastor Will Bassett invites readers to fix their eyes on the Servant-King-the One Isaiah saw, the One Who still transforms lives today. Through the often-overlooked Servant Songs of Isaiah, this book draws us into a fresh, Spirit-filled encounter with Jesus: the Holy One, the obedient Servant, the Suffering Savior, and the victorious Lord.
With honest storytelling, biblical depth, practical application, and a pastor's heart, Bassett weaves theology and testimony into a call to worship, holiness, and life-changing Christian living. Whether you're spiritually dry, longing for more, or simply hungry to know Christ more deeply, Looking to Jesus offers a clear path forward-one gaze at a time.
"In Looking to Jesus, Will Bassett does what few authors do: he points us to Jesus...No one can point the way unless he is on the journey himself. Will is a good guide."

Author and Senior Pastor of Times Square Church, NYC
"Looking to Jesus is a profound and beautifully written call to behold the glory of Christ and reflect His image in our daily lives....This book is a timely reminder of the centrality of Jesus in all things and a powerful resource for personal growth and church discipleship. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with the Lord."
Joel Richardson

"Will brings profound insights from the four Servant Songs of Isaiah, guiding us to see Jesus more clearly and be transformed into His image. The ancient prophet Isaiah saw things about the coming Messiah that were unique among his contemporaries, and Will embodies the desire to 'behold the king in his beauty' (Isa. 33:17) and pass that message on to others...."

"Looking to Jesus is more than a book-it's a sacred invitation. Will Bassett masterfully weaves ancient prophecy with present-day purpose, guiding readers through the Servant Songs of Isaiah with both theological depth and pastoral tenderness. Every chapter lifts the gaze of the reader toward Christ-not just as a figure to admire but as a Savior to emulate...For any believer longing to grow in Christlikeness, this is a must-read."
Ricardo Sanchez
Dove Award winner and Grammy-nominated Worship Leader at Times Square Church
"Any book helping us to understand more about Jesus is always going to be essential reading as we try to live for Him and like Him. Will's approach of leading to a thirty-day devotional, along with the different strands he uses to explore, creates an easy-to-read experience but with some real depth and challenge. I really enjoyed reading Looking to Jesus, and I know you will, too. It really will inspire you."
Rev. Mark Greenwood
Director of Evangelism, Elim Churches UK
"By digging deep into Scripture, Will reveals Jesus in a way that will satisfy your mind, stir your heart, and enrich your spirit. I encourage you to read it, consider it, and be changed by it!"
