Jesus: Why the World Is Still Fascinated by Him Kindle Edition

Jesus. Love Him or hate Him, He's everywhere. On our t-shirts, bumper stickers, and even on the covers of leading news magazines, year after year. We see Him on the silver screen, in the headline crawl on the TV news, and on the homemade signs held up at ball games. Hotly debated, He remains the most conspicuous figure of all time, even twenty decades after His inglorious death.

Best-selling author Tim LaHaye, together with coauthor David Minasian, looks back through history and peers into the prophetic future to show us why the world's "Jesus Fascination" should come as no surprise. After reading about Jesus' life, legacy, and pervasive influence, you may find yourself connecting the dots of your own spiritual journey and answering the timeless question that came from the lips of Jesus Himself: Who do you say that I am?

Dr. Tim LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), who conceived the idea of fictionalizing an account of the Rapture and the Tribulation, is a noted author, minister, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is the founder of both Tim LaHaye Ministries and The PreTrib Research Center. He also recently cofounded the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy at Liberty University. Presently Dr. LaHaye speaks at many Bible prophecy conferences in the U.S. and Canada, where his current prophecy books are very popular.

Dr. LaHaye holds a doctor of ministry degree from Western Theological Seminary and a doctor of literature degree from Liberty University. For 25 years he pastored one of the nation's outstanding churches in San Diego, which grew to three locations. It was during that time that he founded two accredited Christian high schools, a Christian school system of ten schools, and San Diego Christian College (formerly known as Christian Heritage College).

Dr. LaHaye has written over 50 non-fiction books and co-authored 25 fiction books, many of which have been translated into 34 languages. He has written books on a wide variety of subjects, such as family life, temperaments, and Bible prophecy. His most popular fiction works, the Left Behind series, written with Jerry B. Jenkins, continue to appear on the best-seller lists of the Christian Booksellers Association, "Publishers Weekly," the "Wall Street Journal," "USA Today," and the "New York Times."

Another popular series by LaHaye and Jenkins is The Jesus Chronicles. This four-book fiction series gives readers a rich first century experience as John, Mark, Luke, and Matthew recount thrilling accounts of the life of Jesus. Dr. LaHaye is co-author of another fiction series, Babylon Rising. Each of the four titles in this series have debuted in the top 10 on the New York Times best seller list. These are suspense thrillers with thought-provoking messages.

If you are like me, trying to learn the true meaning of a hope and loved filled life, this book is for you. I have only been studying the Bible for a year and its message becomes clearer the more I read and learn. I truly appreciate the warnings given against those that are out to deceive mankind. Not all "knowledge" is beneficial. Jesus' life was an incredible gift of love overcoming ALL our sins and this book tells you why.

Very good non fiction book that tells the background of our Bible and talks about who Jesus really is. No watered down, changing history to fit the bill, writing here. I recommend for every Christian and I give it four stars. I really liked it. Good for ages 14 and up.

We live in a day and age where Jesus Christ, Christianity and the Church are under great attack. We hear views and for that matter lies that are directly opposed to our faith and don't know how to respond. I recommend this book highly, I appreciate all the time and effort that was clearly put into writing it.

Let's remember Paul's words to the Galatians:
Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

This book brings to life who Jesus really was. It shows how every prophecy spoken and recorded in the old testament concerning the coming messiah was proven in the life death and reserrection of Jesus, as well as the miracles he performed. It also shows why he is even more relevent and just as real today as he was when he ascended into heaven over 2000 year ago.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Any book by Tim LaHaye will be controversial. Just by placing his name on the cover is bound to elicit extreme praise or condemnation from certain quarters. This is not just a matter of Chrisitan vs. Non-Christian, either. LaHaye gets as much criticism inside the Church as outside. Frankly, given his rather simplistic theology, his ignorance of Church history, and his complete misrepresentation of the views of those who do not hold to his peculiar (and modern) doomsday eschatology, he deserves the criticism he gets.

Of course, for those who are fans of his Left Behind series with Jerry B. Jenkins, he is a beloved teacher who has made the Bible come alive. Although it is hard to fathom so many people being captivated by such cardboard cutout characters as appeared in that series, LaHaye is hardly the only one who has profited from poorly constructed prose. A good deal of what dominates the bestsellers is equally vapid but few come with the lines for and against so well drawn.

That is why it is interesting to point out that LaHaye's latest effort, Jesus, isn't really as bad as LaHaye's critics might presume. It's not great, mind you, and does not succeed according in its stated purpose, but it is not as painfully inept as many of his previous ventures into the Christian non-fiction area. It is, however, a somewhat breezy read that will no doubt appeal to his core audience.

It is pretty much the usual American Evangelical pop theology - much in the way of enthusiasm and little in the way of substance. Along the way, he makes some good points, but these are almost all recycled and somewhat dumbed down version of more serious Evangelical writers. Any subtleties or nuances in their thinking are pretty much lost in translation to LaHaye's popular juggernaut approach.

In terms of the purpose of the book, explaining why the world is still fascinated by Jesus, he never really mounts much of a case. Those things where there might be some correlation are actually arguments THAT people are fascinated by Jesus but they don't really explain why. Other things presented that try to overcome popular misconceptions cannot be reasons why since, if they were behind the fascination, he would then not have such misconceptions to overcome.

Of course, he has to stick his completely misguided Dispensationalist eschatology in there as what still needs to be fulfilled. This is a complete distortion since only a small minority of Christians accepts this convoluted system that has no history before the modern era. It is merely the imposition of an alien system on the words of the Bible.

With all its faults taken into account, there is still enough of the folksy charm that LaHaye has used to promote his message to appeal to a wide audience. If one goes to this book expecting a powerful well reasoned apologetic, then you will likely be disappointed. It merely gives anecdotal arguments and recycles more serious evidential arguments without considering any serious counterarguments. Given the popularity of its author and the transparency of the prose, this will probably be well received among his many fans. For the rest of us, there is still much left wanting.
