Synopsis

There are countless paths to follow when seeking spiritual guidance, but thousands of years of theology and religion cannot replace the premier example that Jesus himself set for us. In A Portrait of Jesus, bestselling writer Joseph Girzone recaptures the truth of Jesus that is presented to us in the Gospels and gives a compelling vision of the person Jesus contemporaries must have known.Girzone seeks to personify Christ in the minds of readers by asking some simple questions: What did people see in Jesus as He walked down the street? How did He approach others and what would these people take away from meeting Him? What do His actions tell us about how we can live our lives today? Girzone empowering and loving understanding of the heart of Christianity will make this another groundbreaking classic in the tradition of his Joshua and Never Alone.
