A God Named Josh Uncovering the Human Life of Jesus Christ

<b>The Life of Jesus Like You''ve Never Imagined<br/><br/></b>Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It''s a question that still needs an answer today. With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes, award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology, philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus we''ve never seen before.<br/><br/>This is a groundbreaking biography about the historical Jesus we don''t usually think about: The child refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi whose real name wasn''t Jesus. The political revolutionary whose brutal murder was secretly masterminded by a power-hungry mafia family.<br/><br/>More than a fascinating biography, <i>A God Named Josh</i> seeks to illuminate Jesus of Nazareth from new perspectives, grounded in history, that will surprise Christians and atheists alike.<br/><br/><b>"The same wonderful story, the same incredible Savior, the same good news... but written with such clarity that everything you thought you knew about Jesus will seem new and exciting."</b>--STEVE BROWN, founder of <i>Key Life</i> and author of <i>Laughter and Lament<br/></i><br/><b>"Prepare yourself: Jesus is about to become thrillingly, subversively, dangerously, gloriously interesting again."</b>--MARK BUCHANAN, author of <i>God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul</i>
