Lucas on Life

by Jeff Lucas

This book is all about Jesus.nbsp;The words recorded in it were written about Jesus over 2000 years ago. Yet today his message of peace hope love and forgiveness still resonates with people of all races nationalities educational and economic backgrounds. Some like what he said while others disagree with what he said. But almost everyone finds him intriguing. nbsp;The story of Jesus comes to us from four different authors Matthew Mark Luke and John written over a period of nearly seventy years. The message and uniqueness of Jesus remain the same but each author tells the story from his perspective and for his purpose. Some writers wrote more; others wrote less. nbsp;But what if we could read it as one single story from beginning to end This book does just that by combining the four reports of Jesusrsquo; life into a single chronological story.nbsp;Through this book you will take a new look at Jesus his life his miracles and his teachings and be able to come to your own conclusion about him.nbsp;Produced in cooperation with the International Bible Society.

Great stuff from Christian writer and speaker Jeff Lucas. This is a collection of short anecdotes and stories from his experiences in life, loosely gathered into categories such as 'growing', 'relationships', 'faith', and more. I'm not sure that they were particularly cohesive as categories, but it was as good a way as any of organising his thoughts.

There's a lot of low-key humour and some satire in these stories, some gentle fun poked at extremes within Christianity and the church in general, and much that was surprisingly thought-provoking. Sometimes there's a little twist at the end of a story, where Jeff realises he's pointing the finger back at himself.

Probably not of much interest to those outside church circles entirely; definitely not to be read by those who don't understand satire. But very highly recommended to ordinary people who love Jesus and wish that the church - in the broadest understanding of the word - wouldn't take itself quite so seriously.

Laughed until I cried! Brillant

Jeff Lucas is hilarious and great fun to read and listen. However, he makes some very relevant and challenging thoughts and should be dismissed as a mere comedian or court jester.
