I know I shouldn't be should be shocked by the relevance of a book written in 1917 since it is based on the Bible. Palpable in its understanding of Christ and hugely successful in its lively painting of the Messiah, not only did this book allow me to fall deeper in love with God but it also gave me a few tips on how to be a better writer.

Excellent

I really enjoyed this work. It begins with a study of the individual Jesus as a simple carpenter and his passion for nature. His salt of the Earth ways are extracted from historical accounts and Biblical scripture. In the beginning we get to know this man through the eyes of a citizen of the first century. Eventually it builds up into the psychology of a man still bowed down to today. The author's style is respective and reverent. I believe he handles the subject with great sanctity. As I read through this, I am reminded of many moments I have experienced in Bible study with theologians who have knowledge far superior over what I, myself could possibly know. This book answers many questions on the history of the times, how the advancement of Christianity could take on such an unfathomable abundance at lightening speed, and it tackles the horrendous difference between Christianity and all other religions. I found myself wishing so many others could read it who insist that all religions are the same and there is nothing extraordinary about the man from Galilee. I was moved by the description of being immersed in Christianity and how this author acknowledges that a person can never understand the extraordinary beauty of it unless they find themselves within it.

Thought-Full

Glover, like .c.s.Lewis, proceeds carefully, builds his case for the amazing life of a man named Jesus and His incredible impact on both the individual as well as humanity as a whole.
By doing so, he brings the careful reader to a richer understanding of Jesus and the faith founded upon Him.
