Book reviews Jan/Feb 2010 — 22 February 2010
Real Life Jesus: Meeting, Freedom, Purpose

Mike Cain, IVP, £7.99, ISBN: 978-1-84474-218-9The author Mike Cain is senior minister of Emmanuel Church in Bristol and is clearly a man with a burning desire to let others know about this amazing person, Jesus Christ.
In eleven short chapters, Cain reveals to us the life, death and Person of Jesus Christ.  It introduces him in a thought-provoking way, devoid of religious jargon and causes the reader to question their own ideas of who this figure of history really was and how He is relevant in today’s society.

It is an excellent book to give to someone new to Christianity, but also a great way of getting back to basics as a believer and reminding ourselves of the love and compassion of Christ. Thoroughly rooted in biblical text, it takes us through John’s gospel in a gentle manner and is contemporary in its illustrative format.

As soon as I began reading this book, I couldn’t put it down; the Person of Jesus is thoroughly brought to life and as a reader I was compelled to question His relevance to my own life.
