This ISBN is 2 books in 1. More Than a Carpenter, by Josh McDowell, and The Life of Jesus, with the description shown in the Book Details and a prior review. Life of Jesus is taken from the New Living Translation of the 4 Gospels.
More Than a Carpenter discusses the questions: What sets Jesus apart? Why have millions believed? What is the evidence, and what difference does it make? One chapter-- Lord?, Liar? or Lunatic? can be summed up with a quotation from C. S. Lewis: "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse."

This is a combination of two books. The book More then A Carpenter is included with the Gospels presented in more of a story format. Events are set out chronologically. It is a very nice little book.
Chronological journey through the life and teachings of Jesus, as portrayed in all four Gospel accounts. This is a simple compilation of Bible readings with no added commentary or footnotes-designed to introduce people everywhere to the story of Jesus during his 33 yrs on earth. An index allows the reader to compare the text with the harmony of the Gospels.
All the stories, teachings, miracles, and healings woven together into one comprehensive life story. This then, is the life of Jesus.
Great Book!
