How Did Jesus Feel? - Softcover

"Useful for the youthworker/youth who is 'enthusiastic', 'angry', 'lonely', 'tempted' or 'relaxed'"--Youthwork "The true nature of Jesus Christ - Son of God and Son of Man - has tantalised and teased our theologians and critics throughout the centuries. What went on in the thinking and emotions of Jesus as he taught and ministered among people like us? And how can his followers learn from him, in his joys and grief's, his love and his severity? This book comes straight out of the heart and preaching of a person who has engaged with the Gospel portrayals of Christ and interpreted them for a wider public. I salute him for his courage and his passion."--Richard Bewes OBE, formerly of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, England "So often emotions are seen as the domain of women - I'm thrilled that this book was written by a man! How wonderful to understand more deeply that Jesus really has felt what I feel. But how good to be challenged to respond to those emotions as Jesus did, rather than in my own self-seeking way. This is a book for men AND women, to help us be more like Jesus."--Janet Gaukroger "This is a book which I may well wish I had written myself, except that mine would not have been half as good as the way Jim Mayhew has dealt with the subject."--R. T. Kendall Previous minister of Westminster Chapel, London

Jim Mayhew considers Jesus' emotions in response to the situations in which he found himself....enthusiastic, compassionate, angry, rejected, lonely, under stress, tempted, accused, relaxed. ....and helps us learn to be more like him.
