DESCRIPTION

More than 100 fascinating events from the life of Christ are presented in short, easy-to-read format, reinforced with references and life applications. Great for sermon studies, Sunday school curriculum, or individual study and enjoyment! Many people know Carroll Roberson as the smooth, plaintive Southern gospel singer and evangelist from Mississippi, but few people know that he has traveled many times to the Holy Land, and is very knowledgeable about the geography, history, and customs of that area. In The Christ, he brings all of that vast knowledge to the table as he tells the life of Jesus, event by event, from the Old Testament prophecies to the purpose and meaning of the acts of Christ for us today. This is a rich and satisfying account of the life of Christ that proves that He was more than a man. Bible teachers and laymen alike will gain much from the plainspoken writing of this fantastic book. 

 • The events in the life of Christ, from His birth to His ascension are covered in detail, explaining the prophecies from the Old Testament, the historical background of the event, and its meaning for us today.

 • Each topic is concise and covered in just a few pages. 

• This book can be used as a reference book, a devotional, a family time book, or simply as a wonderful, leisurely reading book.

• Fully referenced. An audio CD of Carroll’s songs about the Messiah and the Holy Land is included (17 songs).
