5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, biblical, and challenging, July 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What Jesus Would Say

Lee Strobel (also the author of my all-time favorite book, "The Case for Christ," also available at Amazon.com) has written a thoroughly engaging book in which he speculates what Jesus might say to some of the most controversial pop icons of our day -- ranging from Madonna to Bart Simpson to Rush Limbaugh. It's important to point out that the author isn't putting himself in the place of Jesus, but instead going to the Bible for insights into what Jesus might say to these folks. The result is a fast-paced, entertaining, and thought-provoking book that explores many important topics, ranging from success to leadership to servanthood. Like Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, this book is surprising in its unexpected approach. In reading this book, I got a practical course in doing what the Bible says we all should do -- "speak the truth in love." Some reactionaries might not like the idea that Jesus might actually offer forgiveness to the likes of Madonna, but if the Bible tells us anything, it tells us that nobody is beyond hope if they come to God in repentance and faith. Please, read this book; you'll find it refreshing and captivating! I wish Strobel were pastoring my church!

This review is from: What Jesus Would Say

This book is very insightful as the author gives good advice for each celebrity as Jesus might. When we give advice to people we should always try to deal with them as Jesus would and this book helps point the way.

This review is from: What Jesus Would Say

"What Jesus Would Say" is a fairly short book with life-changing lessons. By imagining what Jesus would say to prominent celebrities, Lee Strobel makes Jesus' teachings more accessible. I found the book fairly fun to read and it is full of great insights. Lee Strobel gives a short biography on each celebrity and then discusses their lives in more detail. What is it that Madonna is actually looking for in life? Why is it more difficult for rich men like Donald Trump to get into heaven? The "Top Ten Things" Jesus might say to David Letterman is supposed to be funny not irreverent. For the most part, the things Jesus says fits with his teachings while he was here on earth. I can only recommend this to you if you like imagining what Jesus might say and are not offended by this idea. I've also enjoyed reading The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus and The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God.
