Review "Bestselling author Eldredge (Wild at Heart), founder of Ransomed Heart Ministries, uses his playful style to uncover the truth about who Jesus really was. With an eyebrow-raising warning about the "poison of religion," he urges readers to turn from religious power displays and legalism and instead spend time falling in love with the man, Jesus. Eldredge repeats tales from the Gospels to reveal a leader who was both humorous and confrontational, generous and moody. Eldredge clearly loves his subject, almost chuckling in delight at Jesus antics. Readers get an intriguing glimpse of Jesus waiting his turn in line, "snorting" in anger, and artfully outsmarting his enemies. On the other hand, many of the themes are recycled (e.g., Jesus is your friend, suffering happens for a reason), and the book lacks opportunities for application and reflection (e.g., study questions). Still, readers will find a three-dimensional Jesus and may find themselves re-reading scripture with an eye on characters feelings."--Publishers Weekly"Eldredges trademark passion and personal transparency offer another inspiring challenge that could revolutionize lives as did his Wild at Heart."--Christian Retailing, on Beautiful Outlaw Review Quote "Eldredges trademark passion and personal transparency offer another inspiring challenge that could revolutionize lives as did his Wild at Heart." -- Christian Retailing , on Beautiful Outlaw Details ISBN1455525707 Author John Eldredge Short Title BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW Pages 240 Language English ISBN-10 1455525707 ISBN-13 9781455525706 Media Book Format Paperback Residence Colorado Springs, CO, US Birth 1904 Death 1961 Year 2013 Publication Date 2013-04-23 Subtitle Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Imprint FaithWords US Release Date 2013-04-23 UK Release Date 2013-04-23 Publisher Time Warner Trade Publishing DEWEY 248 Audience General NZ Release Date 2013-04-22 AU Release Date 2013-04-22 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
