Publisher's Summary
The author believes that over the past 40 years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined like a "perfect storm" to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ.
In Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias looks at the impact of this "storm" by discussing the 60s-70s "Age of Aquarius," actor Shirley MacLaine's book and TV series Out on a Limb, author James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy), Rhonda Byrne (The Secret), Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), and other books by Eckart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, the Dali Lama, and Marianne Williamson. Special attention will be given to the influence of Oprah Winfrey's media platform in reshaping society by introducing and promoting certain books and authors.
Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible.
The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity.

A big steak
This is the kind of book you need to listen twice to really digest. If you are a person who is able to focus in on a specific task you may get away with one, but for me for instance who can only listen when cooking ou at the gym, a second walk through will be necessary. Not to say that this is not a good book, au contraire, I really look forward to go back to it and be uplifted by the supremacy of Christ

Excellent take on modern spirituality!
Read this if you're curious about comparing modern day spiritual guides like Chopra and Tolle with Jesus Christ. Zacharias is like an expert physician diagnosing and clearly explaining the various flaws of modern spiritual worldviews, and deftly pointing to and presenting genuine spirituality.

An informative book
A powerful and informative book. It presents the beauty and truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in contrast to the machinations of New Age Spirituality doctrines in a detailed manner. The book is recommended for anyone who wants to know the truth claims of the gospel and how they answer life's questions in a way that no other worldview can.
