Books about Jesus

I have been wishing for a book about Jesus that just talks about getting to know him as much as learning his teachings.  I have seen a title by Beth Moore that sounds interesting though I am really wishing for a book written by an author from the churches of Christ.  In Beth Moore's book the description indicates that she "follows" Jesus as he reacts with the people all around him in each story.  I believe very strongly in the need to be baptized for the remission of sins and to be added to Christ's church.  I believe very strongly that you are not added to his church until the point of baptism.  Most authors writing will include a section about just pray this prayer and ask Jesus into your heart and to forgive your sins.  While all else they say is wonderful and powerful I am saddened when I read this part of their book because I feel they are not really paying attention to all of scripture like they say they do.  Yet, I often feel that if their writing is indicative of their believe and walk with Jesus they are closer to him than I am.  I would just like to receive encouragement from women who believe in baptism as I do even if it is never mentioned in the book.  I know I must leave the judgement of their soul up to God yet I cannot ever teach the believer's prayer leaving out baptism regardless of how sincere a person is.  That said, I am asking if anyone knows of a book that is written by a woman from the churches of Christ that fits the style I have tried to describe.  Meantime, I think I might just get the book by Beth Moore and others I can find.  They will no doubt open up some thoughts and meaning to me and then maybe someday I will write that devotional book that I am searching for.
