Jesús de Nazaret, que se encarnó y resucitó como Dios, nació, vivió y murió como judío. Este libro titulado Yeshú.

We all share a deep human need for meaning in our lives, a need to feel that we are part of something larger than ourselves. Yet many of us have discovered that successful careers, material affluence-even loving families-are not enough to satisfy this longing. And, too often, the congregations and organizations in which we seek greater meaning are uninspiring, or worse.
