In this richly engaging study of the greatest figure in human history, John Pritchard invites us to encounter the historic – and living – Christ.

The effect of Jesus on every layer of human experience is quite remarkable . . . He’s the magnificent outsider who dominates the gospels . . . the centre point of history . . . the transforming presence who has turned more lives upside down than anyone could dream of . . . our partner in prayer and in pain. . . . the inspiration of some of the greatest artistic achievements of humankind. Truly the wake of this apparently minor figure from small-town Palestine has been spectacular in the extreme. From ‘A Word at the Beginning’

An inspirational book written by a man who loves Jesus and loves people. Mark Russell, Chief Executive,  Church Army

I’m with John Pritchard – unashamedly and incurably obsessed with Jesus. As I read his beautiful new book, I felt both my mind and my heart being enriched and challenged.Brian McLaren
