Book Review: Man, Myth, Messiah by Rice Broocks

It was about this time three years ago, I got to review the book, God's Not Dead by Rice Broocks, which dealt with proving the existence of God. This book became very popular, not because I reviewed it, that they made a movie based on it, even though it was not a fiction book, called "God's Not Dead." Perhaps you have heard of it, or at least the song the Newsboys.

Broocks has written another book, which you can call the sequel to God's Not Dead. This book deals with Jesus Christ. Did Jesus really exist? Was Jesus who He claimed to be? Was He really resurrected? All of these questions and more are dealt with in Broocks' book, which is called, Man, Myth, Messiah.

Broocks deals with was Jesus who He truly said He was. Was He a myth or a real man? He dives into the pages of the Bible and history to make his case. He also addresses the reliability of the gospels which is very important for Christians to understand as we do our best to defend our faith. This is also necessary to write about in case a non-believer reads the book.

Broocks continues on to discuss the importance of Jesus' crucifixion and why the resurrection is important in the Christian faith. He also talks about the importance of the miracles of Jesus and how this applies to the church today. One thing the book addresses is the cost of following Christ. Broocks knows there maybe some non-followers of Christ reading this, so he wants to make it clear about what it will and has cost believers to follow Christ. Last thing Broocks writes about is how we (believers) must share and defend the gospel. One thing I love that he wrote, everything depends on our grasp of the gospel. The gospel is the message of the Christian faith.

I enjoyed reading this book as much as I did God's Not Dead. For those looking for a book to give a friend that does not believe in Christ, this would be a good one.

Thanks BookLook Blogger for letting me review this book.
