Do you want to get to know Jesus Better?
IMAGINE THAT YOU WERE GIVEN THE opportunity to interview Jesus, the most remarkable human being of all time. What would you ask? What would he say? That is the premise of this book by psychiatrist Dr. Andrew G. Hodges, a man accustomed to interviewing people about their lives, motives, hopes and fears. The questions are those you or I might ask; the answers are given as if Jesus were sitting beside us, chatting leisurely on a hill in modern Galilee. Thus, he can site C.S. Lewis or Sigmund Freud, as well as give us his first impressions of Peter. By gleaning information from both the New and Old Testament Scriptures, Dr. Hodges gives us an idea of what Jesus was like as a person. A biblically accurate and emotionally powerful recreation of Jesus√¢?? life from birth to resurrection! With more than 15 hours of content, you√¢??ll understand Jesus, and be encouraged by Him like never before!
Running Time: More than 900 minutes

This "interview" with Jesus will provide your mind with great thoughts and ideas, your heart with renewed compassion, and your soul with fire. It is a book that has been blessed by the Spirit."
---Reid Carpenter, president, Council of Leadership Foundations

---Denny Rydberg, president, Young Life
"Next to the Bible, it's the most important book I've ever read, for it unveils the heart of the most extraordinary man who ever lived far better than the fifty years of sermons I've heard."
---Mike McManus, syndicated religion and ethics columnist
"Without a doubt it is one of the most exciting books I have ever read."
---Robert Schuller, author and pastor, The Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, California
"Seldom has the Incarnation been so intriguingly portrayed. Seldom has the Incarnation been portrayed in such personal terms. A sense of intimacy pervades the pages of this book. . . . A powerful relational experience of forgiveness, healing, and a new perspective on life made possible in identifying with Jesus."
---Journal of Psychology and Christianity
"Now we have a thinking Christian---a psychiatrist, no less---who isn't afraid to contemplate the experience of Jesus the man. . . . Only a modern day Gnostic, denying that Jesus is both God and man, will fear to read and applaud this book."
---Bruce Lockerbie, chairman, PAIDEIA, Inc., Stony Brook, New York
"A fascinating book about the mind of Christ.... I highly recommend it to any serious Christian."
---Bruce Larson, author and pastor
I have learned more about Jesus from Dr. Hodges's depth of perspective as a psychiatrist than from most theologians. . . . It will become a classic Christian book."
---Altus Newell, pastor and former president, International Theological Seminary, Ruschlikon, Switzerland
"This book charms us with mind- and faith-stretching ideas, . . a helpful new and fresh look at the Incarnation. We won't use it as a basis for a new theology, but the one we already have will be enriched, challenged, and deepened."
---Jay Kesler, chancellor, Taylor University, Upland, Indiana
"Warm. Loving. Sensitive. Reverent. Delightful. But dangerous---your Jesus will never be the same to you after reading it."
---Curtis B. Moyes, pastor, Covina, California
"Fascinating writing using a sanctified imagination. . . . I only wish I had written .. . it myself."
---The late Jamie Buckingham, speaker, editor, and author

---Grace Ketterman, psychiatrist and author
"I was deeply moved by this thoughtful, honest look at the problems Jesus must have had to wrestle with as he came to terms with the fact that he was indeed God on earth veiled in human flesh."
---Victor L. Walter, former Chairman of Practical Theology, Trinity Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois
"Dr. Hodges has done a fantastic job in speculating about what Jesus might have said and done during those silent years of His life and work."
---The late Grady Wilson, associate to Billy Graham
"... A salutary reminder of the humanness of Jesus. We forget that the earliest Christological heresy was the denial, not of Jesus' deity, but of his humanity."
---David K. Lowery, professor (N. T. Literature and Exegesis), Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas
