Jesus - Curt Simmons

He was shrouded in controversy from the moment of his conception to the day he said farewell to some of his closest friends who watched him disappear into a cloud on his return to heaven. During his brief time on Earth, many misunderstood him, even some in his inner circle and members of his own family. Most of the religious leaders in his day ridiculed him and mocked his message. Some said he was simply being glamorized by those who chose to follow him, making him out to be way more incredible than he actually was. Yet men and women from all ages and backgrounds who watched his life, witnessed his miracles and welcomed the embrace of his love marveled at him, looked to imitate him and made the revealing of his true identity their all-consuming passion, even at the risk of death. In this revised version, Curt Simmons takes us on a trip back to the first century to discover the one who claimed that he alone was the Word made flesh, the way to the Father and the whole nine yards in flawless living-Jesus: The Man, the Majesty, the Model.
