Editorial Reviews

In this follow-up to his bestselling The Passion of Jesus Christ, Pastor John Piper discusses the identity of Jesus Christ and explores how we can best learn about Him. He writes that one need not embark on a historical study of New Testament times to perceive the glory of Jesus; one need only read the Bible with an open heart. This affirmative message is bolstered by numerous Scripture references and a prayer after each chapter.
