I know so many people who are fearless in their faith.

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
America is on edge. Division runs deep, and anger threatens to tear the nation apart. Newly elected President Samantha Sharp knows the weight of leadership, but nothing could prepare her for the crises ahead—her husband’s devastating illness, betrayal within her inner circle, and the rising voice of opposition that twists faith into a weapon against her.
Why would such a good man who loved so profoundly and helped so many people be killed? Why did he provoke opposition? If God walked among us in the person of his son, why would people want to kill him? Why did so many vehemently oppose him? In The Amazing Life of Jesus, author Rev Dr Geoffrey Waugh explores that mystery.
He provides a brief overview of history’s great love story. It gives a summary of the birth and boyhood of Jesus and describes his ministry through three Passover Festivals. It includes a detailed chronology of Jesus’ life and ministry and examines why such a popular, loving, and compassionate young leader would encounter intense hostility and opposition causing his crucifixion.
Offering fresh insights, The Amazing Life of Jesus points you to the great good news of who Jesus is and what he did.
