Summary: An uncommon approach to a common topic.
Comment: The title says it all. This book is a down-to-earth, logical look at the life of Jesus. He was a real guy!! Its simplistic approach makes the truths about Jesus very clear. Many times people misunderstand who Jesus is and why he came. Since this book is written in a very easy-to-understand way, it is a great book for those who are curious and questioning their beliefs. It is great reading for Christians, also. It really made me think about Jesus in a different, more approachable way, and it also helped me realize that Christianity isn't about falling asleep in the back pew, it's about love and faith. I greatly recommend this book to any and all who want a unique and real perspective of who Jesus really is, and what Christianity is all about.

Summary: What Jesus is really about
Comment: I read this book after hearing Don Everts speak at a weekend conference. He is a challenging speaker to say the least, calling Christians to not play the "two inch Olympics" game by patting ourselves on the back for doing the basics but to do more, to listen for the voice of God and do what He asks.
As for Jesus with Dirty Feet -- this book isn't meant to answer all the deep, tough theological questions about Jesus. Nor is it meant to answer the question of why people use the Bible to excuse their bad behavior (i.e. the Crusades, or slavery). Those questions, for the most part, are answered in the fact that people are selfish and it is easy to take things out of context to fulfill one's selfish desires.
Jesus with Dirty Feet is a book meant to introduce you to the bare bones of who Jesus was -- not the excuse for genocide and slavery, etc. -- and to realize that Jesus wasn't born floating six inches off the ground peering hatefully down on humanity. Getting the basics right allows for the deeper questions to be answered without the prejudice of preconceived notions. When I purchased the book we were offered two copies for the price of one and given the challenged to give our second copy to a non-Christian who was curious or skeptical -- this book is a great door-opener and is wonderful for prompting discussion.

Summary: A terrific book that's well worth your time
Comment: What else could you ask for, but an interesting book, well-written, culture-connected, with a truly biblical perspective on the God-man. It's a fast-paced quick read.
My response to Michael Mazza is "Never judge a philosophy by its abuse." ~ Saint Augustine. You can not look to the crusades or any other offensive acts performed by self-proclaimed "Christians". When and if you judge my faith, you can consider only the object of my faith. In this case, Jesus Christ, the perfect son of God.
Nuff said!
