The Gospel Retold. Jesus: An Intimate Portrait. A New Book by Leith Anderson.
Based on the Gospels, Jesus: An Intimate Portrait provides an expanded and chronological retelling of the life of Jesus from author, pastor, and theologian Leith Anderson.
Eden Prairie, MN (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 -- Based on the Gospels, Jesus: An Intimate Portrait provides an expanded and chronological retelling of the life of Jesus from author and pastor Leith Anderson. Anderson brings together a lifetime of study and experience in this new biography of historys most famous man.
Anderson holds degrees in sociology, Bible, and theology and is a pastor, as well as having served as a professor and seminary president. He has written six books, coauthored several others, and has been translated into several major languages.
"Why write a new biography of Jesus?" Anderson asks, Because so many dont know his story, and others have heard it so many times that they have lost track of the big picture."
Leith Anderson's conversational storytelling ability and knowledge of the first-century-historical, societal, and political perspectives of the time-provide an engaging and informative reading experience.
Well researched and finely crafted, Jesus is a superb introduction to the most significant person in human history as well as a fascinating new approach to Jesus story for those very familiar with the gospel accounts.
Praise for Jesus:
"Wow! Leith Anderson has done something truly remarkable here. This is a fantastic account of the life of Jesus--honest, affectionate, and powerful... Ive believed in the Lord Jesus for most of my life. Even so, I found something new in these pages. Leith Anderson has given us all a gift of creative insight into the life of Jesus Christ... I cant wait to share this with my church." -- Ted Haggard, President, National Association of Evangelicals
"Many Americans want to deepen their spiritual life, and have a hunger for God, but don't have a living relationship with Jesus. Leith Anderson's book Jesus will help people gain a fuller and more intimate knowledge of Jesus by providing a biblically rooted and comprehensive account of the life and ministry of Jesus based on all four gospels. Background information in this book helps readers reflect upon Jesus' words and deeds in the context of the times, and is presented in a way that does not break the flow of this highly readable and faithful account of the central figure in Christendom." --George Gallup, Jr., The George H. Gallup International Institute
