Exquisite Jesus

When we encounter Jesus, we find that his life is full of paradoxes.

He is great yet vulnerable; human yet divine; born, but of a virgin; the Life, yet he died; without sin yet suffered divine punishment; ascended to Heaven yet always with us; followed by some but rejected by others.

In short, Jesus is exquisite: beautiful, lovely, superb, valuable, delicate, priceless, beyond description and more.

This book looks at these and other paradoxes and tries to unravel just who Jesus is and what His life means for us today. As you read through these pages, you will find yourself falling in love with Him again – or maybe even meet Him for the first time.

"This is a book about Jesus. Keith Jackson comes with fresh eyes to the most compelling person in all of history and asks some of the Big Questions about Jesus: who He is, why He came and what His life, death and message have to do with us today.

In a world where so much information is available instantly, Keith goes deep and lingers long in the amazing life and ministry of Jesus as revealed in the Bible.

Keith's aim is not just to inform but to present the person of Jesus in a way that draws the reader into real relationship with Him. He writes with wisdom, insight and great passion in order that we might not simply know about Jesus but know Him for ourselves."

Chris Cartwright, General Superintendent of the Elim Pentecostal Churches

"In a challenging, unique and inspiring way, Keith Jackson helps us to look again at the person of Jesus. Using personal stories and re-telling of biblical texts he has written a book that, if you grasp its message, will change your life. 

I am proud to call Keith my pastor and friend. I have benefitted from many of his talks. He and Barbie are the real deal and their love for Jesus is contagious. Grab yourself a copy and read about the God who moved into our neighbourhood and changed everything."

Patrick Regan OBE, Founder & CEO of XLP

"The three biggest questions in the universe are 'Who is God?' 'Why am I here?' and 'Where am I in relation to God?' In this lucid and readable book, laced with personal anecdote, Keith Jackson draws from Scripture and long pastoral experience to address some of these vital issues."

John Glass, Chair of the Evangelical Alliance and Former General Superintendent of the Elim Pentecostal Churches
