<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Thousands of steeples on the horizon represent countless agendas, doctrines, quarrels. And they represent a question: How can we know anything about Jesus now? The answer, according to Rick James, is in the context. He recalls the specific contexts that color Jesus' story, bringing forward this man you've heard so much-and so little-about.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Great. Another book about Jesus. Whose agenda will the author be lugging along this time?<br /> Author Rick James begins by clearing his throat. Free of creeds, quarrels and specialized theologies, he speaks of Jesus.<br /> No dogma, no politics, no moral at the end.<br /> Jesus. What he said. What he did. And what, exactly, was the point.<br /> The answers about Jesus, according to Rick James, are in the context. In his own unconventional way, James recalls the specific contexts that color Jesus' story, bringing forward this man you've heard so much--and so little--about.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>James contends that not only has centuries of religion reshaped our modern image of Jesus but the contemporary media is culpable as well. While James may not have all the answers to those questions about Jesus that neophyte believers have, he does provide a starter tool for developing a clearer picture of the biblical Jesus. For the more mature believer, an appendix to the book shows how it can best be implemented for the purposes of more clearly explaining this to others.--Jim Miller Book Review, July 8, 2009<br><br>James makes plenty of pop culture references and writes in a sometimes slangy style, but his views are orthodox and he desires his readers to know Christ and embrace the gospel.--World, July 21, 2007<br><br>James utilizes Scripture, Jewish tradition, and Roman writings to give a simple rendering of the impact that Jesus of Nazareth has made on humanity.--Glen H. Jones, Pulpit Helps, June 2008<br><br>Where James excels is in his ability to put things in laymen's terms for people. He provides the whole story of Jesus in a relatable format for seekers and new believers.--C. E. Moore, The Christian Manifesto, January 1, 2008<br><br>With historical perspective and modern comparisons, this book will open your eyes to the Jesus you have always wanted to better understand and serve. Don't miss the appendix, which answers commonly asked questions about the New Testament.--Joy Fisher, Living with Teenagers, October 2009<br>
