The Jesus I never knew : why no one who meets Him ever stays the same

Award- winning author Philip Yancey strips away the stereotypes and cosy images surrounding the person of Jesus to reveal the powerful and enigmatic reality of the man who changed history.

Images of Jesus -- the sweet Christmas card baby, the serene figure with a halo, the predictable flannel-graph cut-out of Sunday school -- have often obscured the real flesh and blood person behind the myth.

Using the Gospel accounts and historical research of first century Palestine, Philip Yancey reveals Jesus as full of emotion and passion, who shocked and scandalised many of his contemporaries, and whose words and actions cut across all conventions.

Jesus is truly unique and disturbing -- both to his own age and to our own.

This fascinating exploration will challenge those without faith to believe, and those with faith, to face the truth.
