Publisher Description
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
Beautiful outlaw
This is a must read if you want to deepen your relationship with Jesus. The fact that Jesus was fully human in his divinity is beautifully expressed in this book and motivates us to see joy in "the small things".
Transforming of the assumed
This book took me from the familiar to heart felt changed perspective of the Savior I thought I knew.
