I, Jesus: An Autobiography

by Chuck Missler, William P. Welty

Many people who knew Jesus understood him well enough to admire him, to respect him, and to love him. Others were terrified of him. Some of his own relatives said he was out of his mind. But the politically and religiously intolerant leaders of first-century Israel hated him. So they murdered him. But that wasn't the end of the story. Not by a long shot. Today, more than twenty centuries later, respected Bible scholars Dr. Charles "Chuck" Missler and Dr. William Welty bring Jesus of Nazareth to you in the most unconventional way possible...by bringing Jesus of Nazareth to talk in his very own words about himself, his purpose, his nature, and his mission. By the time you've finished reading I, Jesus: an Autobiography, you'll have learned why this rabbi from Nazareth rose from literal obscurity-as well as from the grave-to change the very course of history.

I "finished" this several times but kept falling asleep at random times during the audiobook so I don't feel comfortable rating it.

I would say it's pretty basic but in this day and age people knowing what Jesus actually said, did, and claimed to be is...scarily rare I'm finding, even within the church. So in that regard it's a good list of the claims Jesus made about himself, and the claims others in scripture made of him.

Alice Na Takuatung, in Phuket, Thailand, gave KJ a copy of I Jesus, An Autobiography, and then he had their pastor mail me a copy which I finally completed today. What a powerful book and one I will read once Robert and Mom have had a chance to read it. When I do start again I freely admit that I won't get the 'depth and complexity' with just a second reading. This book holds up a mirror for each Christian to evaluate how close their beliefs are to scripture. I still have much more to learn. Thanks Pam & KJ!

A gripping read!

I highly recommend and encourage you to read and re-read this wonderful text! You will have a life-changing encounter with the Truth as you discover what the Bible says about our Lord and Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Although the title is a bit misleading as its not really an autobiography, this is a very good book, the goes through, step by step, all the things Jesus claimed about himself (particularly his clear claim to be God), that others claimed about Jesus, and about the old testament prophecies that point so very clearly to Jesus being the Messiah, the Son of God.

Those old testament prophecies. Its amazing that Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies about who the Messiah would be. Apart from just prophecy, there are many other things that point to Jesus as God, such as the incredible meaning hidden in the names of the genealogy of Adam to Noah, the number 7 within the genealogy of Adam to Jesus in the gospel of Matthew, and many other things — all detailed in this book I had never heard of before our pastor recommended I read some Misler books for study.

I have always loved and been amazed at the way Jesus fulfilled prophecy, but this walk through the scriptures of the Old Testament to show who Jesus was, well it was almost overwhelming.

Really a good foundation for a in depth understanding of who Jesus is according to both the Old Testamant and new, who He is according to Himself, and who He is according to the church.

This book, like Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" provides empirical data on the proof of Jesus's claims on Who He is. I highly recommend this study if you want to add to your faith in Jesus Christ.

I absolutely loved this book. If you want to understand Jesus on a different level, read this one. Thank you Lord for putting this one in front of me.

A Wonderful Read…

Very well organized study on our Lord, Jesus Christ. I will return to this book many times on the points I’d love to share with friends and family.

This is a very odd title. It is a most thorough apologetic but an autobiography is written in the first person. Which this is not.

[Nick Woodall · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love Chuck Missler, and I wanted to like this book, but I couldn't. While it has tons of interesting facts and proofs, it is not well written. It seems each author wrote a part of the book without talking to the other one and then they just threw it together. It appears there was little to no editing. This book could have been a tour-de-force, but it wasn't.
