Product Description

Jesus Christ. He is, without question, the most influential person in history. Millions of people claim the truths of the religion that bears His name.

But who exactly is Jesus? A popular religious teacher? An ancient martyr? Many today are unsure. Even scholars debate whether the Jesus of history is the Christ of faith. Now, more than ever, we need a clear understanding of the person and work of the man millions call Savior. 

In this ninth and final biographical study in the best-selling Great Lives from God's Word series, beloved pastor and Bible teacher Charles Swindoll introduces you to the carpenter from Nazareth as you have never seen Him before.  

This fascinating biography, filled with biblical and historical insights, takes you on an unforgettable journey through the complex and provocative life of Jesus of Nazareth. His unique birth. His astonishing power. His controversial teaching. His shocking death. And His world-changing resurrection.  

Refreshingly honest and deep, this in-depth profile reveals Jesus with great clarity and offers practical applications for your own life. Whether you're just curious about Jesus or a longtime follower of His life and teachings, you'll experience His life in a new way as you join Dr. Swindoll in Jesus: The Greatest Life of All.

The insight into the life of Jesus in this book is amazing. You can tell that Mr. Swindoll was writing with the blessing of God. I highly reccommend it and can't wait to read others in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful subject and Swindoll is right on, February 24, 2009

By	Brian Oldham "coach O" (Sacramento, Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It should be easy to tell a good story about Jesus but Charles Swindoll is always very interesting in the way he organizes his biblical biographies. He uses images and ideas we can all understand when we are trying to open the mystery and wonder in the Bible. I loved this book and got two more to share, one just for my son to keep.

5.0 out of 5 stars thought provoking, October 12, 2008

By	cat (bassett,va.) - See all my reviews

I ordered two of these to share with my children. I have given another one as a gift. If you like history and have a desire to learn more about the Christian faith and the early church, I encourage you to read this book. I plan to read all of Chuck Swindoll's books in the Great Lives series.
