10 Things You Must Know About Jesus Christ

  My Pastor, Michael Dada, is one of the best people that I know and he really inspires me to be a better person. I mean, do you know many people that would open up their home to the homeless at Christmas time, inviting them to eat dinner? How many people would see a homeless man on the street, invite the man, a complete stranger, to stay in their house for almost a week, whilst working hard to find and reunite the man with his family? These are just some instances of amazing things that my Pastor has done and he is really being the good example that all Christians should be.

  He wrote a book last year called '10 Things You Must Know About Jesus Christ'. I really love this book because I feel that it clearly lays out the main characteristics of Jesus Christ, such as how he is the Savior, the Promise from God and a Healer and these ten things are explained without 'Christian jargon', in a way for even atheists to understand.

  Even if you're a firm non-believer and see Christianity as a total myth and fairy-tale, I'd still recommend this book as I feel it offers a different approach towards Christianity, how Jesus is the centre of it all and what it's all about. I believe that people are so put off by the idea of Christianity because of how it's becoming increasingly commercialised; it's either all about the 'mega churches' who are willing to blur and twist the Bible to attract the numbers or the rigidity of some churches who are not open enough to share Christian ideologies of love- they judge and criticise 'outsiders' which is not good at all.

  10 Things You Must Know About Jesus Christ does neither of these things and my Pastor is completely against the idea of of the aforementioned points. The book is also quite short and to the point, another positive as it is a quick read so that there is no danger of rambling on and people saying 'Christianity is boring and long, just like this book!'

  I might come across as biased as this is my Pastor's book but he is such an amazing person and I really think his chef-d'oeuvre (French for masterpiece, I couldn't resist as I'm helping in translating the book into French!) deserves to be put out there for others to see. He once said, 'You know you've done something right if Kenny likes it' to me and I laughed as I can be quite mean about things but definitely not this book.

  Thank you for an awesome book, Pastor Dada, aka Dad and I hope that I can one day get rid of my selfish tendencies to be as good as you are.
