Philip Yancy Yancy's "Jesus I Never Know" starts with the image of Jesus. When he was young he imagined that Jesus had an angelic character like young, handsome, considerate face. Until he entered the Christian university, he was introduced to Jesus' real image. I am in direct contact with Yancey. There are images of Christ in my head such as depiction of Hollywood and depiction of classical paintings. Only when I went to a Christian college, I got a more accurate picture of Christ.

The book I first read in 2006 is the work of Philip Youngs. I have read it since I swallowed that book. I explored Jesus' lifelong and narrative in a time series, nearly a poetic trip. This is an attractive reading. You should read it. I will handle some information in the coming years, but I feel that I only know him now. When I explain the background around a poem with a guide, I have too many "ah, it makes sense" moments, too many, "Oh my God, why did I say it before Did not you see ", a moment. There are many more things "Do I really read the Bible with the right lens?"

From a very contemporary point of view, Philip Yancey has explored "real" Jesus and has published it, and few people know him. From the beginning, Yancey explained his purpose - to draw the fact that Jesus 'lives are joined together and anyone who follows Jesus' path will make a big difference. He divided "Jesus I never knew" into three parts: "Who is he", "Why did he come", "What did you leave?" Unlike the tall man Sunday school stereotype with long, flowing hair. Among Jesus, I do not know that Jesus is represented by the words of the Bible. The idea of ​​the title is that most people are presented with picture books and are hidden from the actual truth. Yancey was introduced to Jesus himself through the image of the school on Sunday. Even after his Bible college, Yancey acknowledges that he does not truly understand Jesus like him.

Yancey is a wonderful writer who can re-introduce Jesus to his readers no matter how loyal his readers are. I was surprised that even little of my religion knew little about Christ. At first I was skeptical about reading books in religious learning classes, but even after the first page I was impressed with Yancey's sentence style and enjoyed my childhood stories. The number of studies Yancey did for "I never know Jesus" is certainly wonderful. There are a lot of facts about Jesus and his life, and I have a lot of experience with him telling him that each chapter is a new adventure. I recommend this book to anyone. There is something that will appeal to everyone, and surely someone will guide you to understand Jesus' new facts. In general, Philip Youngs found a very successful way to reconnect Christ with his followers.
