Tho written more than a century ago, Fosdick's insights and reflections on the personality of Christ remain fresh and relevant. My grandfather took this little daily devotional book with him into the First World War; my father took it with him into the Second; and it is just as insipiring for the conflicts of today. You will find daily gems of insight and inspiration. Well worth your time and study.

Fosdick takes a broad-view look at the life of Jesus, and in doing so, examines the characteristics Jesus possessed as a man here on earth. This isn't a "HOW TO" or "SELF HELP" manual like most Christian growth books out there today. Rather, it just looks at Christ and asks how we measure up. It doesn't sound like earth-shattering stuff, but Fosdick digs deep and really brings it home several times throughout the book. Some of it will blow your mind. The entire thing is scripture based. Whoever reads it will, no doubt, come out of it with a much clearer, deeper perspective on the person and Diety of Jesus Christ. You won't be wasting your time on this book.

I am searching for information on the Life of Jesus. This book was very helpful. It is a paperback book, that has been reprinted, but the material is great. Written well and understandable.
