Who is Jesus?



The Jesus I Never Knew


By Philip Yancey / Zondervan Corp.

On the cover of my book is a banner that says, "Voted Best Book of the Year!" Now that ten years have passed since the original publication, perhaps it is time to proclaim, "Best Book of the Decade!"

This is the first book by Philip Yancey that I have read, but it won't be the last. I've read the New Testament many times, yet I had to keep asking myself, "How could I have missed this?" Using the four Gospels as his primary source, Yancey introduces us to Jesus as the original writers saw him.

I am sorry to admit that the Jesus I knew was far too small. I am grateful to Yancey for sharing Christ in an honest and real way that has opened my eyes and caused me to see that he is far greater than I ever hoped or dared to believe.
