There are times when doubting, fears, and even despair, seem to encompass us, causing us to doubt our faith in Jesus Christ. This excellent examination of the life of Jesus, as related in the four Gospels, shows or simply reminds us who he was, why he came, why he died, and his purpose, before, during, and after his short time on this earth. Roger Ellsworth reveals Christ to be unique: the Son of God who came to endure the suffering of the cross to secure salvation for those who trust in him.It is the author's desire that if you have not made up your mind about Jesus, you will discover the truth about him for yourself; or if you have doubts or fears, or a cool heart towards him, that you will be led to a greater sense of awe and determination to live for his glory. ‘Roger Ellsworth's book Exploring the Fascinating Life of Jesus is true to its title and subtitle, "From Matthew to John in 10 minutes a day". All the major stories and events of the life of Jesus of Nazareth are brought before us in forty-five short chapters. Each can be read in ten minutes or less, so this book could serve as a fine devotional guide.
