Amazed: Why The Humanity Of Jesus Matters
We are made in God's image. God provided rules for healthy living and a sacrificial practice as a means to worship him. Yet we chose to separate from God and go our own way–we couldn't follow God's rules without messing up. Enter Jesus. He came as a man, in the same image as we are created. He lived a sinless life and is the only effective sacrifice to pay the price that we deserve for our hurtful choices. Richard Bahr's book, Why the Humanity of Jesus Matters, helps unpack how Jesus lived out his humanity–and how that humanity helps us connect to him and the Father more effectively.

Personal and engaging!
Rich does a great job outlining things about Jesus I haven't thought about before. He's engaging and raw about his own life and challenges. Well worth the read. Simple and fast for those who aren't theologians. Engaging in a way that challenged me to stop, think, and praise God for who he is and the life he lived and showed us.
