Ten things they never told me about Jesus - John L. Bell

Not another book about what we already know, but one about what we overlook.
In Ten Things They Never Told Me About Jesus John Bell explores facets of the personal life, relationships and ministry of Jesus which are seldom the stuff of preaching or conversation, but which are all rooted in the Gospels and are necessary if we are to be freed from the passive stereotypes which still dominate thinking about Christ.
Much of the book is rooted in encounters with people on the periphery of religious life and in situations where politeness was not a prerequisite for discussing faith.
John Bell is a member of the Iona Community, an ordained minister and an occasional broadcaster who lectures and preaches across the globe.
