Eldredge never disappoints! I was captivated from simply the introduction in his book. I love the way Eldredge writes and engages and makes you think. Jesus...there's so much to Him, and Eldredge breaks it down with emphasis on the personality and realness of Jesus. From His playfulness to His disruptive honesty to His extravagant generosity, I have now seen and know Jesus on a much more intimate and genuine level. Familiar Bible stories have come alive in new ways for me, and I find my heart resonating more deeply with those Jesus touched and taught while He walked the earth. This book has been such a gift to my relationship with Christ. I'm using it as a study guide for a women's Bible study I'm leading. The women in my group have been equally engaged and impacted. A definite 5-star read!

Sometimes it is difficult to see past words on a page to catch a glimpse of the emotion of a tpoic, especially a person. John Eldridge captures the personality, emotions, and even more of the charscter of Jesus. He walked this earth as a real human with human qualities. Get to know Jesus more closely!

What an amazing book. I felt blessed that I was told about it!!! You will get so much out of John's writing. His perspective is so refreshing and I learned so much as I pondered each chapter! Only God could give so much talent that hundreds of people would be changed by the thoughts one man has put on paper. Inspired and anointed!!

This is actually the third copy of Beautiful Outlaw I have ordered over the years because each time, I end up lending it out and not getting it back! Once you've read this book, you will want to keep it forever - it reflects the gentle, humorous and playful nature of our heavenly Father. We often see a somber Jesus through the eyes of an artist, but in this book we are in on a little secret - Jesus has a beautiful personality which includes a great sense of humor! He is not a meek or passive person, but an outlaw who single-handedly changed the world. READ THIS BOOK!! You'll love it!

Have not finished but what I have read is very good
