Product Description
bout the Book

A Likewise book.

Most folks think of Jesus as the man who started Christianity.

But it turns out he wasn't just a man, and he didn't just start Christianity.

Most folks think of Jesus as an other-worldly religious leader, a great moral teacher, or maybe they don't think of him at all.

But he had dirty feet, partied, cooked breakfast and got himself killed.

Who was this guy? Why did people hate him so much?

And why should I care?

Whether you've never looked closely at the Christian faith or you've dismissed it as irrelevant, you owe yourself a glance at a Jesus unencumbered by stereotypes. You might be surprised at what you see.

Reader Reviews
Ok, let me get this out of my system. The purpose of this book is not to prove any theological point, to explain the actions of whatever group at whatever time, blah blah blah, etc etc etc. The purpose of this book, as Mr. Everts said while speaking one of the many times I've heard him speak, this book's purpose was to take all the stereotypes of who Jesus and Christianity is, throw them away, go back to the beginning and explain them without theological dogmas getting in the way. For example, I love Everts'on the church. His general statement is that calling a church a building is the same thing as calling a Christian a two by four. Explination, through the years people have twisted and labeled parts of Christianity to the point where Churches are building where people go on Sunday, but if we take a look at what the Bible teaches, the church a bunch of Christians; a.k.a. the body of Christ. Now, you also have to understand Everts' target audience. Though this book is great for pretty much anyone, it's intended focus was college kids who have dismissed Christianity for what they think it is rather than what it is. Now that that's clear, let me say that this is a wonderful book. As almost everyone else has said, is a short book with a style of writing where you can easily fly through this book in a day or two, if that. When I was in college, I was in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. A couple of our attendee's were dorm R.A.'s, and they would buy boxes of this book and everyday set one in every stall of the dorm bathrooms or give one to every student on their floor. The response was amazing. In the end, this book is excellent while being very inexpensive. Buy one. If you don't like it, give it away. Not every seed grows in every soil. It might do nothing for you, but change the life of another.
