Nadie puede ser como Jesús, pero todos podemos ser como Jesús. En toda la historia nunca ha habido - y nunca lo habrá - alguien como Él.
En este extraordinario audio libro, el devoto cristiano e internacionalmente aclamado orador, autor, y ejecutivo deportivo, Pat Williams, revela la esencia pura de Jesús. Aunque el cristianismo enseña que Jesús es Dios, la mayoría de la gente pierde de vista su humanidad. A través de los evangelios de Mateo, Marcos, Lucas, y Juan, Williams nos ayuda a comprender quién fue Jesús realmente: Su mente, Su sabiduría, Su amor, Su humildad, Su valor, y Su bondad. La historia de la vida de Jesús se dice poderosamente y dramáticamente y el significado de sus enseñanzas es convincentemente traído a casa a través de historias contemporáneas de personas que ejemplifican lo que significa ser como Jesús.
El Jesús de este audio libro es verdaderamente el Jesús que vivió y se identificó con nosotros y con quien nosotros también podemos identificarnos. Williams ofrece una visión persuasiva y provocativa sobre cómo ser verdaderamente como Jesús a través de Sus enseñanzas y un ejemplo vivo de amor genuino, perdón, oración, obediencia, servicio, humildad, integridad, liderazgo, y más.
Esta obra sencilla y fascinante permitirá que los oyentes aprendan sobre la vida de Jesús, entiendan Sus palabras y construyan Sus rasgos y cualidades de carácter en sus vidas. El audio libro por excelencia sobre cómo vivir una vida mejor y crear un efecto positivo y duradero en la vida de los demás, Cómo ser como Jesús puede ser el descubrimiento de una vida.
Pat writes in a clear way that summarizes many major lessons from the life of Christ from the writings of the four Gospels in the Bible. The stories come alive!
I live in the Deep South, where “Jesus” is often a brand showcased by decorative crosses, showy church attendance and Bible quotes. Evangelical Protestants will boldly ask someone they barely know, “Have you been saved?” - which they describe as a personal faith and belief in your heart - and this is the seemingly lone requirement to their private club. Yet, this same group often demonstrate cliquish behavior, self righteousness and hatefulness toward anyone or anything deemed “other”. This was a turn off to me for many years…Wasn’t I surprised when, in my early 30’s, I read the Bible for myself and learned that Jesus was also an outcast with the religious mainstream of his time? He hung out with all the “sinners” and the only time he showed anger and judgement was towards the hypocrites in the church. I have an interest in philosophy, and the more I understood the historic context of Jesus’ time and the way his actions and teachings fit into that, the more I began to revere him. I decided to focus my interest not so much on proving the divinity of Jesus (which is a matter of personal faith) or in concerning myself with the afterlife - but in trying to incorporate his teachings and actions into my daily interactions with others, because I truly believe this would help me to be a better person and that the world would be a better place if we all tried this (even if we inevitably fall short of his example). Hence, I began to seek a book that focused on this topic. Pat Williams does a great job of tying the 4 gospels into a singular cohesive narrative and highlighting the characteristics of Jesus we can emulate (ex: integrity, obedience, anger, communication, thinking/philosophy, prayer, forgiveness, humility, love, endurance, grief, leadership, focus, courage) The book is not without agenda, per se, but the approach is non-judgmental, open, and warm. He wants you to see the humanity of the one who called himself “Son of Man” and encourage you to follow him in your life. It is a great supplement to studying the Gospels themselves and I feel all would benefit from reading it.
This older (2003) book was on my physical to read shelf, so i probably snagged it from a little free library somewhere down the road.
It was basically a retelling of most of the gospels, using modern English phrasing, and focusing on how we should strive to emulate Jesus' behavior. ie : how to be humble like Jesus, forgive like Jesus, focus like Jesus.
Interesting because it was written by a sports executive, rather than a trained theologian etc. It was fine to read, but nothing overly memorable.
I thought I knew what it was like to be a Christian, but this book REALLY shows you what it’s like to be a Christian. This book changed my life and makes me strive to do and be better. The author breaks down the gospels even more and helps explain how to use Jesus’ parables in our life and how to literally be like Jesus. How to love people and go out of our ways for them. This book humbled me and I want to do better because of this book. I will FOREVER recommend this book. 10/10!
A powerful way to dig deeper into the life of Jesus
I was searching for exactly this book—a guide, built from Biblical and extended research, but filled with the spiritual message of Christ. Pat takes us from the beginning to the end of the life of Jesus, pulling liberally from the quoted text of the New Testament, but weaving the details into a narrative that just touched my heart.
Interwoven with personal anecdotes and bits of biography from other influential people, this book just feels inspiring and eye opening. I closed the final page in tears, answering "yes, Lord!" to that final call from Jesus—"follow me."
This books had helped to strengthen my faith by giving me a new understanding and appreciation for my Lord. Simply moving. I'm so grateful I found it.
