The Jesus I Never Knew (Abridged) Audiobook

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

" Yancey rocks. I enjoy just about everything I've read of his, a smart thinker who offers such balance as a Christian writer. I don't say this much: this might change your life. "

" 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). "

" Changed my life! As a follower of Christ it is imperative that I know the character and person that I'm following. This book provided an educated perspective that allowed me to feel like I personally knew Jesus. My life hasn't been the same since. "

" This one of the most informative book about the life of Jesus Christ that I have ever read. Philip Yancey really is a highly commendable journalist and author. now, I am very much aware. "

" I read this for a Lenten study class - he is a very good writer. Gives you many things to consider.... "

" Learned great things about Jesus! "

" Jesus is never more beautiful than when you see him anew. This book shows you new pictures of Jesus again and again. "

" I don't think I ever enjoyed a Christian book so much. I found it to be honest and searching question that I could associate with myself. "

" 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! "

" Some good some bad "

" Absolutely loved this book. Every single chapter blew my mind and challenged my faith. Amazing. "

" More a 4.5 star book. This is a brave, pot-stirring and visionary engagement with Jesus that comes very close to earning five stars. "

" Good new angles of insight into Jesus. "

" Excellent! Like everything by Yancey it is great, well-written, makes you think, related to the idea of knowing who Jesus is so that we can be like him. "

" This book was chosen for our church's small group series. We meet twice a month to discuss a new chapter. It's an interesting book. "

" This is a book I should have read years ago. Phillip Yancy approaches Jesus from all kinds of different angles and throws in a touch of apologetics. Deep enough to really sink your teeth into, but light enough to bring you back each day. "

" What a wonderful read. This book did so much for my way of thinking, my understanding of who Jesus is, and creating a stronger desire within me to read through the Gospels. I am a big fan of Yancey's approach and writing style and look forward to checking out other books he has written. "

" 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. "

" I really enjoy Philip Yancey's writing. There was nothing here that was particularly revealing or new information about Jesus, but the author seems to have a way of writing that gets your mind engaged and thinking about the topic in different ways. I'd definitely recommend this one. "

" 2nd time I've read this book and still found more insights about Jesus and the Scriptures. "

" 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. "
