Discover anew the living Jesus—our world's greatest teacher—in this riveting work of short, lucid chapters that explore his life and legacy. And learn why Jesus was the supreme example of his own teaching: the gospel of love in the kingdom of God, and the joy of serving in God's universal family. Authored by a retired university professor and gospel evangelist, this unique depiction shows us how to live like Jesus: fresh, alive, original, spontaneous—and as a wellspring of love, mercy, and service. You'll also discover a Jesus who was a scientist, philosopher, healer, friend, and humorist, a divine son who shows us how to move beyond the present chaos into the dawn of a worldwide spiritual renaissance. Walk with Jesus as he shows the way to a new era of unity among his followers and the path to worldwide cooperation among equals in the family of religions.
