What is Jesus like? What kind of a person is he? Is he emotional or stoic? Is he proud or humble? Is he aloof or friendly? This book attempts to answer these types of questions. After demonstrating that Jesus is the promised Christ and that he is both divine and human, this book examines Jesus' personal characteristics as they are displayed in the four Gospels. The four Gospels are clearly not a typical biography of Jesus. Nonetheless, they do provide an informative account of his life here on earth, from which we can discover what he is like as a person.

A Look at Who Jesus Is and What He Is Like from the Gospels
D. Patrick Ramsey

In The Lord of the Rings, the hobbits live blissfully unaware of the great battle to save Middle Earth from the evil Sauron. Many people are like hobbits and do not understand or see the great battle waging between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan, a battle over the allegiance of people’s hearts and lives. But though they do not know it or admit it, the battle goes on. This is why believers must put on the whole armor of God daily: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12).
