Synopses & Reviews
These pages take you into the mind and heart of the Son of God in a way you may not have thought possible. You'll come to understand the inner logic of Jesus' ministry: why Jesus' life had to take the course it took, why He couldn't have been the earthly king many were expecting, and why He couldn't have conformed to the conventional ideas of a warrior, a hero, or even just a successful man.
Synopsis
These pages cut through the blather about "Jesus our friend" to help readers recover a sense of the mighty Savior who endured a humiliating, painful death for love of us. Readers will come to understand aspects of His life that they may have found troubling, including why He didn't heal all the sick, and how His motives for healing differed from those of a social worker; why He didn't show His power to the influential people of His day; and why He chose a path that by earthly standards involved nothing but failure, rejection, and abandonment.
