Cindy says:
"This book faithfully searches the Gospels to tell us about the true identity of Jesus of Nazareth. The reader is brought face-to-face with Jesus, the Son of God, his message and his mission. Although I initially read the book for pleasure, I now want to read it again in conjunction with a study of the Gospels as part of a study group (a study guide has been written for individual or group study)."

"A handy and portable guide for those times when you're walking the street and realize you've forgotten the definition of perichoresis or what the latin phrase for "image of God" is (similitudo Dei). It is also good for useful activities such as, sermon prep, or essay writing, when you can't carry your whole library with you."
