Why Jesus? / Why Christmas? / Why Easter? are a concise, easy-to-read study of the very real questions people may have about Jesus and why His birth, death and resurrection are central to the Christian faith.
Written by Nicky Gumbel, it explores why we need Jesus and how He satisfies our hunger for meaning and purpose in life, for life beyond death, and for forgiveness.
Exploring Jesus' claims, character and death, Nicky uses effortlessly uncomplicated language to talk about the freedom we receive from guilt, addiction, and fear, and the freedom to know God, to love other people, and to change.
