What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels....
Voted Best Book of the Year. There is no writer in the evangelical world that I admire and appreciate more.; Billy Graham Philip Yancey helps reveal what two thousand years of history covered up What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the new, rediscovered; Jesus;or even the Jesus we think we know so well? Philip Yancey offers a new and different perspective on the life of Christ and his work;his teachings, his miracles, his death and resurrection;and ultimately, who he was and why he came. From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as answers; a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and stretch your faith. The Jesus I Never Knew uncovers a Jesus who is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying. ;No one who meets Jesus ever stays the same,; says Yancey. ;Jesus has rocked my own preconceptions and has made me ask hard questions about why those of us who bear his name don't do a better job of following him.
A Teriffic read!!! Philip Yancey opens your eyes to a new way of looking at what our Lord Jesus, taught us while He was here among us in flesh...and also as He is here within each and every one of us. A must read for all who want to get to know our Lord a little more deeply.
Excellent book.

Great book for all people who want a pragmatist view of Jesus.
Another excellent book by an excellent author! An evangelical Christian, Philip Yancey is very respectful of other Christians which I find refreshing. As a thoughful & practicing Catholic, I really appreciate his work.
A theologians insight to the inner being of Jesus
This is Philip Yancy at his best. The subjects he explores will fill your heart with gratitude for knowing XChrist. It will give the inspiration to go out into the world and share God's word.
Such an excellent book, to study in a group or read independently.
