Just aweful

I cant understand why writers want to put a picture of some unknown person on the cover of these books when the bible plainly says no man has ever seen God. It just ruined it and I had to burn it because I just didnt appriciate the 2nd commandment of God being broken and the fact that it was in my house made it worse...

Great Book On Jesus Christ By Charles Swindoll

"The Greatest Gift of All: Jesus" is the latest (last?) in the Great Lives From God's Word series by Charles Swindoll. The book is around 300 pages and contains 20 chapters, some of which include the following: 1. Resting in Christ - do not try to strive in your own flesh, let God work in and through you instead. 2. It Is Best To Rest - similar content to the above. #1 and #2 were my personal favorite chapters. 3. Abiding In Christ - learn to stay close to Christ and let Him produce His fruit through you. 4. The Gathering Storm - after a while, opposition started to build against Jesus Christ. Christians can expect the same. 5. Encountering Jesus Along Life's Road - Jesus can work wonders in your life if you let Him! These are just a few samples of the chapters and their respective focus. As with his other books, Swindoll has a way of combining theology with practical application. Read, enjoy, and be encouraged. Highly recommended!

Wonderful subject and Swindoll is right on

It should be easy to tell a good story about Jesus but Charles Swindoll is always very interesting in the way he organizes his biblical biographies. He uses images and ideas we can all understand when we are trying to open the mystery and wonder in the Bible. I loved this book and got two more to share, one just for my son to keep.

thought provoking

I ordered two of these to share with my children. I have given another one as a gift. If you like history and have a desire to learn more about the Christian faith and the early church, I encourage you to read this book. I plan to read all of Chuck Swindoll's books in the Great Lives series.

Amazing insight!

The insight into the life of Jesus in this book is amazing. You can tell that Mr. Swindoll was writing with the blessing of God. I highly reccommend it and can't wait to read others in the series.
