Unexplainable Jesus: Rediscovering the God You Thought You Knew

by Erica Wiggenhorn

Overview

When’s the last time you were captivated by Jesus?

Crowds clamored, women wept in awe, disciples dared to do the impossible—all because of Jesus. Somewhere in the overly familiar we’ve lost our fascination. Whether you’re worn thin, filled with questions, or desperate for more of God, come encounter Unexplainable Jesus. Experience the culture and customs of His day and follow Him into a life unimaginable. This study features:

• in-depth study of Luke (40 lessons over 8 weeks)
• historical and cultural insights
• soul-searching questions
• access to extensive online resources

Step into the streets of Jerusalem and encounter the Jewish Rabbi who turned the world upside down. After rediscovering Jesus on the pages of the book of Luke—or maybe discovering Him for the very first time—you’ll see there is no other plan, goal, ambition, or Person worth following but Jesus.

Plus, check out the Unexplainable Jesus DVD, which contains hours of all-new video teaching content from Erica Wiggenhorn.

From the Publisher

Praise for Unexplainable Jesus

Erica Wiggenhorn. The girl unpacks a spiritual truth like nobody’s business. But this time? It’s personal. Like “practically feel the dust-grit from Jesus’ sandals” personal. It does get heart-personal when we look so closely at the cultural, historical, and religious background of our Jewish-Rabbi-Savior. Can’t NOT be changed by this fabulous study of Luke’s gospel.

Rhonda Rhea, TV personality, author of 15 books, including Fix Her Upper, Messy to Meaningful, and the award-winning Turtles in the Road

The best teaching comes from experience.

You are going to be blessed processing this new study of Luke by Erica Wiggenhorn—Unexplainable Jesus! Drawing from the pages of Luke, the early church historian, Erica helps draw out the real Jesus who changed the world through His life and changed the course of human history by His death and resurrection. But the blessing will come not merely from the information that Erica shares, but by the transformation that the Holy Spirit will do in your life as you engage the life of the Son of God. Erica’s writing style and insights will serve as launching points for the Holy Spirit in your heart to continue the process of changing you to be more like Jesus (2 Cor. 3:18).
