Too Good to Be False by Tom Gilson

Too Good to be False will give you a truly fresh view of Jesus, filled with insights into his character like you've never seen or heard before-because nothing like this has been published in close to a century. This book will awaken your worship and strengthen your faith in him. You'll see more clearly than ever just how much Jesus' character is unlike any other, including the so-called greats of history, or even of myth, imagination, or legend. No one else has loved as he loved, led as he led, cared as he cared, or understood himself as Jesus understood himself. He stands magnificently alone-a truth that will not only encourage believers but also challenge skeptics who tell us it's only a story. Using an approach today's skeptics have never faced, the author takes the story of Jesus seriously as a story, and finds his character too consistent, too unique, and too extraordinarily good to be mere legend, as skeptics suppose him to be. He's truly too good to be false. Includes a study guide for small group discussion.
