This illustrated guide offers:

Devoid of technical vocabulary, it requires no prior knowledge on the part of the reader; it is an ideal work for anyone wanting to explore Christianity, but its approach and presentation also offer a new perspective to those already familiar with the subject. It is a thematic development of what the New Testament conveys and teaches about Jesus, in its historical context. It gives a good idea of his essence: his words, his actions, his motivations, his identity, and his character—extraordinarily kind, especially to those who do not expect it or necessarily deserve it, because he himself was convinced that God is truly good.
Whether you are just beginning to explore Christianity or have been a longtime follower of Jesus, this book will help you on your journey of discovering the one Christians say is God—a God full of grace and goodness—who came, and still comes, to dwell among us.
