CONCISE LIFE OF CHRIST
The Life of Jesus Christ-everything else pales in comparison. King of Kings, yet Son of man. Savior and Redeemer, yet the Judge of all the earth. Who is He...really? In this classic writing on the subject, James Stalker helps the reader grasp the meaning of this one solitary life-the life of Christ.
Once the reader becomes knowledgeable about the life of Christ, the mind naturally goes to thoughts of wanting to model his or her own life in the example of Christ. Stalker's influential presentation of the Lord Jesus Christ presents the reader with a clear understanding of how Christ lived at home and in the world, as well as how He manifested His relationships with others.
Finally, having learned of Christ and the example He is for every believer to follow, one may wonder, "Am I truly following Christ, or just the teachings about Him that I have learned from others? The teachings of Christ concerning Himself will challenge the reader to distinguish between what they have heard about Christ and what Christ Himself said was true.
