In this book report I will be going over the things that I found interesting and things that I can put into use.

The author of this book, Philip Yancy grew up in Atlanta Georgia as a child, is a well Christian journalist who describes Jesus from his point of view out of the Gospels. Philip Yancy starts out saying that he thought he knew through what he was taught who Jesus actually was. Like everyone else he thought Jesus only in the physical aspect of his life at his young child such as having a long beard, a mustache, and long hair.
