" I especially thought the section about the Beatitudes was exquisite. "

" Loved this book, I read it when I was nineteen and it made the life and world Jesus inhabitated come to life for me. Excellent book! I love this author. "

" I thought this was such a great book. It really challenged my thinking about Jesus by pointing me back to what we actually know about Jesus from the Bible. It gave me great perspective on what Jesus was like and what mattered to him and challenged me to live more like him and that is quite different from some of the stereotypes presented by society and church as well. "

" Loved certain chapters, others I found too moralizing. "

" An amazing and in-depth overview of what a difference Jesus has made in our lives. "

" One of the best books I've ever read. "

" Easter was such an appropriate day to finish reading this book! Yancey doesn't shy away from mystery and apparent contradiction. He stays true to the context of Jesus' life and expands on what it all means for those of us who believe. "

" Learned great things about Jesus! "

" This books gives one a lot to ponder about the person of Jesus. I especially liked the examination of the Sermon on the Mount and how radical Jesus' words must have been to those hearing them. Yancey gives some good guidelines on how to better understand Jesus and how to live a life more like His. "

" Brilliant reexamination of the life of Jesus, taking away our preconceived ideas and childhood images. A classic. "

" I highly recommend this. Especially if you are of the human species...you should definitely read this. "

" I really loved this book. Yancey takes a well known subject and gives some great fresh insights. It really made me think about my preconceived notions of Jesus and attempt to see him in a new light. "

" Not a commentary, yet wonderful insite on Jesus' character. "

" This book was wonderful. It completely changed the way I think about Jesus and made me re-fall in love with Him and divorce all the religious stuff. "

" Maybe the best book I have ever read! A real game changer. "

" good read - easy- no real aha moments for me though. "

" This book helped expand the way I looked at Jesus "

" Not great. There are a lot better books on Christianity, I hate to say. I didn't care for this one. "

" I never like the writing style of Philip, Since it is not attracting & pulling. But he is the only author, whom I try to collect and read all of his books. The insights are great. The way he deals with the core of the issue can be very well related to the human choas. "

" One thing I really like about Yancey is the way he breaks through the predictable. He seems to write books based on questions he himself has. I would recommend this if you want a non-religious look at the person of Jesus (but nothing beats Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). "

" Another one of my all-time favorite Christian books. If you want a fresh perspective at Jesus...here you go. "

" Amazing read! Really makes you think! I had never thought about Jesus the man before he became Jesus the really big deal. He was a kid, a teen...it's just so interesting to think about! "

" This was a really powerful book, but also a nice read. Highly recommended it!! "

" Yancey totally transformed my thinking in regards to Jesus and the realities in His life! Probably is his best work ever! "

" Interesting book, read it for an intro to bible class. Made it easier to relate to Jesus as a human. "God incarnate" was always a bit intimidating to me and this book helped me view Jesus as more than a just god's version of someone you'd want to hang out with. "

" Practical stories helped me know Christ more. "

" Enjoyed the book! Has a lot of information and details that made it a challenge to read daily. Had to come back to it to read more. I felt a sense of accomplishment after reading it, and overall, enjoyed the experience. "
