Who is the real Jesus? Everyone has an opinion--from the scholars on a quest for the historical Jesus to the ordinary person on life's journey who thinks of Jesus as a "good person." This book addresses the controversy that Jesus--by His very nature--incited both in His lifetime and still today. Dr. Bill Bright leads us through the various opinions of who Jesus is, so we can encounter the authentic Jesus--the Jesus who is very much alive and real today.
William R. Bright was an American evangelist. In 1951 at the University of California, Los Angeles, he founded Campus Crusade for Christ as a ministry for university students. In 1952 he wrote The Four Spiritual Laws. In 1979 he produced the film Jesus. In 1996 Bill Bright was awarded the $1.1 million Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, and donated the money to promote the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer. In 2001 he stepped down as leader of the organization and Steve Douglass became president.
Well written discussion of what it means to be an all-in follower of Jesus. Readable, concise, and focused. This is a good read for a new believer as well as one who needs to reaffirm his or her commitment to follow Jesus with a complete heart. I appreciate the mix of practicality with truth. I recommend this to any who desire to know the thrill of truly following Jesus.
