Fully Human: Why the Humanity of Jesus Changes Everything
Most Christians don't really know what to make of the doctrine that Jesus was both fully God and fully man. And because of that, we misinterpret many things about him. This book seeks to correct those misunderstandings so we can see the humanity of Jesus in very powerful, encouraging, and unique ways.
We also see that the motion of the life of Jesus is one that descends down to the broken, hurting people of our world. Unfortunately, most American Christians today refuse to follow in his footsteps. Instead, they constantly focus on an upward trajectory, ignoring or downplaying the painful realities of life. This book validates our pain and suffering in ways that are very encouraging, insightful, and hopeful.

Thoughtful & persuasive series of essays focusing on the humanity of Jesus. Haugh argues that Jesus was not a superhero who knew he would survive his heroic rescue of our souls, but rather a fireman who entered the World Trade Center on 9/11 not knowing if he would ever come out. How else would his sacrifice mean anything, Haugh argues, and I agree. Very brave, Greg!

Profound Look At Jesus Humanity
The writer writes a very profound book detailing Jesus as a human being who lived on this earth with all the same human qualities we all have. Though he never sinned, he felt what we feel at times, pain, joy, surprise at unbelief, compassion and all the normal human qualities that are part of who we are as humans. It corrects the picture that does not reflect who Jesus is in reality or biblically. He then goes on to the true way to follow Jesus against much of what passes for life as a Christian, but is not biblical or reality. A very great book to make one think, reflect, and consider what following Jesus really is.

I enjoyed one or two of the chapters. The rest I could do without. I'd say more - but I always am afraid the author will find my review and be utterly discouraged. Try again Mr. Haugh! I know there's more you will have to say!
