In 15 chapters and an Epilogue, Ortberg introduces the reader to the Jesus whose impact on the world is unparalleled, a man with no dignity (according to society’s standards), who managed to revolutionize humanity.

them. Of course, the book will be much more effective if the person offering it actually lives out his or her faith in a way that at least comes close to resembling the Jesus described in it. Anyone can read a biography about someone and learn a lot of facts. This book, however, is out to transform more than inform. After all, the subject of this biography is alive and well.
