This short book is a thought-provoking challenge to our perception of the person of Jesus. J B Phillips asks us to test our Jesus-image with adult minds and by looking at the Gospel records themselves. When we do so the authentic world-changing character and work of the Son of God will strike our minds and hearts afresh and change the way we look at ourselves and our world. In an age of distraction and worldliness, we are affected far more than we know by the values of this world and so our need to revisit the life and character of the 'expert in living’ is especially great.

The book brings renewed perspective on a few specific aspects Jesus’ character, work and teaching that allow the reader to engage with His life and purpose from an angle that they may have missed.

Anyone who wants to open themselves to the beauty of Jesus and his all encompassing mission will find in this book refreshment and clarity.

On the original sleeve it says “The little book has power and penetration, and is a sharp challenge to consider the Man who is God”.
