Overview

Life is complicated, but one man’s life makes things simpler. "All Man All Amazing" gives us a shining example in Jesus, examining his life for encouragement and guidance as we journey through life.

Description
Is there still such a thing as a role model? As children, it took very little for us to look up to someone; oftentimes, these people were not even real. Following fictional heroes was perhaps a way to cope with a dysfunctional home, maybe even a fatherless one. With adulthood comes an added awareness of the faults, failings and brokenness of people and our world. Is there anyone to whom we can look as we navigate the various aspects of life? Is there someone who can help us with its challenges, complications and demands? In "All Man All Amazing," we find the answer to these questions. While Jesus Christ is God, he also lived as a man, wading the waters of life like the rest of us. This book's view of Jesus through the primary lens of humanity will offer a refreshing perspective of the life of Christ, also providing encouragement and inspiration to those who read its pages. Christian and non-Christian readers alike will benefit from this treatment of history's most noteworthy figure, finding in his story some common ground with their own. Men will particularly be empowered to be the example they may have lacked growing up, fueled by practical takeaways from the different facets of Jesus' life. A reminder for some, and a new discovery for others, we will examine the life of a man who is truly worthy of emulation.
About the author

In 2007, Christian came to Chicago, where he earned a BA in Mass Communication from Saint Xavier University. It was then he felt God call him to full-time ministry. Christian's heart is for everyone to have a personal encounter with God. Through writing, teaching, and music he desires to convey the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Today, Christian resides in Pittsburgh, PA with his wife Heidi and two children, Marshall and Courtney.
