This touching, unique book written by Beth Moore has cut deeply into my heart. Through this perfectly layed out book, Moore brings the reader through a realistic adventure about the life of Jesus Christ. She reveals many truths about Jesus' life that we overlook when reading the Bible's facts about His life. Moore's insightful words are refreshing, freeing, and eye-opening. This book touched my heart softly and intimately, bringing me closer to the loving and graceful heart of my Savior Jesus Christ. The realistic views and the heartfelt moments that the reader enters with this book are life changing and freeing. Anyone who has ever wanted a closer look at the life of Jesus and a deeper touch of His unconditional love should readh this book. I absolutely love and adore this book.

I don't normally share my opinions with the general public, but this book has moved me to do so.

I was raised under the rather misguided impression that Jesus was a very solemn and quiet person. One who at times, tended to do quite a bit of chastising to His flock. Beth Moore's gift of speaking and writing is amazing. She does an exceptional job of portraying what a kind, loving, and JOYFUL person he was. My eyes were opened to a whole new (and joyful!) way of looking at Jesus and the Bible (and the New Testament specifically)!

I found her book through a bible study class offered through my new church and I would HIGHLY recommend getting her CD (or DVD if it is offered) of this study because she has a phenomenal way of helping you to visualize the life Jesus led and the world He lived in.

I loved the book and the study so much that I am now looking for other books that she has written.

For anyone who is serious about becoming a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, this heart felt study of the gospel of Luke is an excellent place to start. A fulcrum for any personal Christian library, this easy to follow format provides a reusable outline for study of the other three gospels. The one thing that sets this book apart, I believe, is the wonderful insight into the reality of Jesus' day to day life, offered my Ms. Moore. It is as if she is really there, walking with the Master. Her radiant love for our Lord is overwhelmingly evident in her words. May we all learn to love Jesus in such a way and know Him as personaly as this author obviously does.

Beth Moore speaks directly to the heart and soul with this illuminating, stunning book about Jesus Christ. Could not put it down! A must-read for anyone searching to know more about this wonderful, visionary leader. Jesus Christ gave us more than just the Gospels, He gave us Himself! Beautifully-written, well-researched, and irresistable.

One of the most informative and moving books I have ever read about Jesus. I have two copies because one is worn and tattered. Lots of facts and references about the original meaning of Biblical words and explanations of culture during the time Christ walked the earth. Details Christ's life from Mary's conception to His death on the cross. Truly a moving personal experience reading this book. If you don't already know Jesus, you won't want to go another day without Him. If you already know him, you will enter into a more intimate relationship with Him than you ever imagined. Many times I read a page and had to stop reading and digest the magnitude of what I had just read and it's meaning for me and my personal relationship with Jesus. I will reread and reread and reread......

So far this is my favorite Beth Moore book. I've already read it twice and am sure to read it again. She tackles a very familiar story with fresh insights just about every chapter. It's not a "preachy" book. Rather she makes you feel like you're a fellow learner with a good friend. Unlike some of her other books, this does not require looking up many references which makes it ideal to read when you're reading somewhere other than your desk at home.

Beth Moore is always so inspiring. This book is absolutely wonderful - and life-changing! I was very pleased that the poem she wrote from Mary's perspective about the night Jesus was born was included in this text. She read this poem in one of the video teaching segments for the "Jesus, the One and Only" Bible study.

I always wanted to read a Beth Moore book, so I got this one. The book is a devotional study of Luke's gospel. Some passages are skipped for the sake of brevity, but most are covered. Moore interprets key Greek words and applies the meaning of the text to life. Reading this book reminded me of the way Matthew Henry writes. She is a bit more aware of the biblical culture than Henry was, but this is definitely more of an inspirational book than an exegetical one. I took notes and was blessed by it.

I just finished this study with my small group of 20-26 year old women. It was a really good study, and I feel that I love Jesus more because of it... but it is not Beth's best. I highly recommend Esther and Daniel.

Fantastic! Beth Moore has a wonderful way of breaking down the life of Jesus in a simple, yet personal way. She weaves in historical Jewish customs and traditions, cross-references Old Testament verses and asks thought-provoking questions to make this two-thousand-year-old story come alive. Jesus was God in human form--the epitome of perfection and holiness but that didn't shelter him from living a normal childhood in a very average, working-class home or from encountering the same problems and temptations that we face. "Jesus, the One and Only" will help you understand the full character of Christ. Who he was. What he did. And how much he gave of himself to draw us into a relationship with God. This Bible study is perfect for women on any level, whether you've been a Christian for decades or days. Don't underestimate the power of this book. This isn't your average Sunday school Jesus story!
