Praise for The Jesus I Never Knew:
"This is the best book about Jesus I have ever read, probably the best
book about Jesus in the whole century. Yancey gently took away my
blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious
know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and
thought I heard him ask me, 'Now whom do you say that I am?' and I
understood the question as I never had before."
--Lewis B. Smedes, Senior Professor, Fuller Seminary
"Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to
Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew, I became convinced that the Jesus I
met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book
is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking
Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him
more."
--Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International
