review 1: Ortberg always seems to say things that "i've always known" but in a way that is fresh and new. This time he connects "things I've always known" with other things I've always known but never before saw the connection. It is one of those just smile and wonder kind of books.The basic outline is a list of ways in which our culture has been impacted by a single life: Jesus. It is not a theological book in the sense of "all the things you need to know about Jesus." It is more the practical implications on life and culture as a result of the historical life of Jesus and those that followed him. Some of the examples seem trivial and perhaps arbitrary. Example: That New Year's day is 8 days after Christmas and that Jewish babies were circumcised and named 8 days after birt... moreh seems too much of a stretch to be much more that retrospective alignment of facts. But most other examples are penetrating and resonate.For those who need a Christian apologetic, Ortberg offers one in the epilogue. The body of the book, however is more historical than theological.
review 2: Who Is This Man: The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus. I found this to be a welcome, surprising and riveting study of the Saviour of the World. The author, John Ortberg, has written a wonderful book that any Christian should have in their library. You will want to refer to it over and over again. I have read several books about the carpenter from Galilee, but I have never come across and read a book that left me wanting more when I got to the end of the book. His vivid description of the time between the crucifixion and the resurrection n full of drama and amazement. A worthwhile and life changing read! less
