“许多人类最高贵和最仁慈之行为的动机,都来自于对耶稣的爱;而一些最伟大的成就,也源于对这位拿撒勒卑微木匠的侍奉。本书的目的,就是为了讲述这一点。” “看哪,我將一切都更新了。” - Jesus
If Jesus Christ had never been born, nearly every facet of human life would be much more miserable than it is today. Arranged topically and presenting compelling, little-known historical facts, What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? clearly demonstrates that an enormous array of benefits to humankind -- from economics to art to government, science to civil liberties, morality to health, and beyond - would never have occurred had Jesus Christ not lived.
"...many of mankind’s noblest and kindest deeds, and greatest accomplishments, find their motivation in love for Jesus Christ; ... to prove that truth is the purpose of this book.” - excerpt from author
Dennis James Kennedy was an American Presbyterian pastor, evangelist, Christian broadcaster, and author.

James Kennedy Ministries), the Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, the Knox Theological Seminary, radio station WAFG-FM, and the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, a socially conservative political group. In 1974, he began Coral Ridge Ministries, which produced his weekly religious television program, The Coral Ridge Hour, carried on various networks and syndicated on numerous other stations with a peak audience of three million viewers in 200 countries. He also had a daily radio program, Truths That Transform, from 1984 on. During his lifetime, Coral Ridge Ministries grew to a US$37-million-a-year non-profit corporation.
