What do a teenager, an American journalist and a German reformer all have in common? Like so many others they have heard the original, authoritative and godly words of Jesus and in this book you will find out how. Roger Carswell was the teenager who was introduced to Jesus by his uncle after a game of tennis. Let Roger introduce you to this same Jesus so that you can meet him for yourself and find out who he is and what he has done for you. Take a moment to understand who is the real, historical Jesus and why knowing him matters to you today

I read this to consider using it for evangelism with those from a non-Christian background. I thought it was excellent for purpose.
My only concern (amazingly!) is the "pray this prayer" at the end followed by "If you have prayed this prayer, it is just the beginning of your new life with Jesus" (p. 68). Dangerous decisionalism. Otherwise, an excellent resource.
This book deepened my understanding of who Jesus truly was, blending biblical examples with personal testimonies from public figures. Its insights not only clarified aspects of His life but also drew me into a closer, more personal connection with God.
Helpful, simple and compelling, particularly if you're someone who is not yet a Christian.
With lightness of touch, Carswell looks over some of the key passages of the Bible and explains them, illustrating them with examples and some personal stories. Only 65ish pages, a great book to give away to a curious friend!
