Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus

By John Eldredge and J. Eldredge

Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge shatters the stained glass with a compelling portrait of the personality of Jesus.

In Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass.

In the author's winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart. By uncovering the real Jesus, readers are welcomed into the rich emotional life of Christ. All of the remarkable qualities of Jesus burst like fireworks with color and brilliance because of his humanity.

Eldredge goes on to show readers how they can experience this Jesus in their lives every day. This book will quicken readers' worship, and deepen their intimacy with Jesus.

Customer Reviews

Knowing my Savior has a personally.

I loved what this author taught me in, Beautiful Outlaw. After reading every chapter I felt closer to my Savior than ever before. I was able to grasp that Jesus is real as God and as a man. In some ways we can all find connection in Christ’s personality and our own. I now find my thoughts leading me to more prayer time with Jesus; he is my confidant, and best friend, as well as my one Saving Grace. I bought extra books and gave them to many others.
