This updated version with large font tells how many people are turned away from Christianity because of its history of violence, its intolerance, and its baggage of certain unattractive aspects of western culture. So also some persons have lost interest in the church because of its many divisions and what they view as its irrelevance to the issues of society. Yet Jesus Christ continues to have a wide appeal. The authenticity of his teachings and the integrity of his life captivates them. This book seeks to build on this compelling interest in Jesus. It poses the question: "What would be involved in walking in the footsteps of Jesus?" The author expresses heartfelt gratitude to his granddaughter Sophia Bullard for her superb assistance in bringing this book to publication.
