it was amazing

This book was phenomenal. Here's what my brother had to say when he recommended it.

"The author is a quote-unquote believer but refreshingly candid about his own fears, doubts about, and frustrations with God. It is a guileless book, without pretense, and I believe most anyone--"believer", "non-believer," Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or Muslim--(though they might not agree with everything said) would be pleasantly surprised by what they find in it. As it turns out, many of us raised-Christians have been handed down a "Jesus" that is decidedly distorted, cankered, and for many (I would say) untrue. Sometimes we either accept or reject Jesus based on a rather narrow experience and interpretation."

This book addresses these issues as the author takes an honest look at the life of Jesus. Remarkably beautiful and inspiring. This is one I will re-read again and again.
