Inescapable Jesus: Unpredictable Impact

The impact of Jesus' life and legacy on human history has been unparalleled, despite the fact that his death on the day after the event seemed destined to make any small mark he had made on the world disappear. In "Who Is This Man?", bestselling author John Ortberg explores the paradox of Jesus, who is history's most familiar figure while simultaneously the man no one truly knows.

Ortberg's book traces Jesus' incredible life and legacy from his days on Earth to the present moment, revealing how his vision of life continues to haunt and challenge humanity. He delves into the ways Jesus' influence has inspired movements in art, science, government, medicine, and education, and how his lessons about dignity, compassion, forgiveness, and hope continue to shape the course of human history.

The author invites readers to join him in this journey of rediscovering the profound impact of Jesus, whose influence has swept over history and whose vision of life continues to resonate with people, whether they are believers or not. Ortberg's engaging and insightful writing style helps readers see God as He truly is and connect with Him amidst the noise and clutter of modern life.

Praise for "Who Is This Man?" has been overwhelming. Dr. Henry Cloud, a renowned psychologist and co-author of the bestselling Boundaries books, describes the book as a "gift" that helps readers see Jesus as He really is and connect with Him. Ron Johnson, the CEO of J.C. Penney, commends Ortberg for bridging the gap between the secular and the sacred, and for sharing the undeniable and profound impact of Jesus Christ on the world, an impact that is more profound on the day-to-day lives of people, regardless of their faith, than the impact of any other person in history.

Ortberg's work serves as a powerful reminder that, despite the passing of over two thousand years, the lessons and vision of Jesus continue to shape the course of human civilization. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the man who has left an indelible mark on the world, and whose teachings and example continue to inspire and challenge us to this day.
