Jesus: Why the World Is Still Fascinated by Him

by Tim LaHaye, David Minasian Narrated by Wayne Shepherd

Overview

Jesus. Love Him or hate Him, He's everywhere. On our T-shirts, bumper stickers, and even 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 centuries after His inglorious death. Best-selling author Tim LaHaye and coauthor David Minasian look back through history and peer into the prophetic future to show us why the world's “Jesus fascination” should come as no surprise; every generation since Christ has grappled with the question: Who was He? What does He mean to us here, today? 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?

Editorial Reviews

"Who do you say that I am?" (Matthew 16:15) Jesus posed that question nearly two millennia ago, and people have been answering ever since. Responses vary widely, but the intensity seems the same. In this simply titled book, famed Christian writer Tim LaHaye examines reasons why this preacher from an ancient, distant agrarian culture continues to fascinate us so many centuries after he walked the earth. An unapologetically unscholarly look at Jesus' life, legacy and influence.

Library Journal

Evangelical minister LaHaye (www.timlahaye.com), coauthor, with Jerry Jenkins, of the New York Times best-selling "Left Behind" series, here teams with film industry veteran Minasian to explore the world's ongoing fascination with Jesus. An interview between LaHaye and the narrator, Christian radio host Wayne Shepherd (www.wayneshepherd.net), takes up the first 20 minutes and repeats material covered in later tracks. Shepherd does a good job with the reading, but the occasional lengthy lists (e.g., reflecting the extent of magazine coverage of Jesus vs. other historical figures), while they may work in print, make for tedious listening. For conservative, evangelical listeners.—Deb West, Gannon Univ. Lib., Erie, PA
