This work offers a different perspective on the life of Christ and his work -- his teaching, his miracles, his death and resurrection -- and ultimately, who he was and why he came. Relating the gospel events to the world we live in today, the author looks at the radical words of this Jewish carpenter and asks whether we are taking him seriously enough in our own day and age. From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, the author presents a complex character that generates questions as well as answers. The author paints a portrait of Jesus that is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 288 pages ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The personal beliefs of Jimmy Carter \/ [by Jimmy Carter].","author":"Carter, J.","isbn":"1400050383","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"THREE RIVER PRESS"},"datePublished":"1997","inLanguage":"English","description":"\"Includes the complete text of Living Faith and Sources fo Strength.\"\/Living Faith originally published: New York : Times Books, 1996.
