Description: "Jesus didn't come to make us Christian; Jesus came to make us fully humanIn About You, Dick Staub addresses Christians of all stripes-lapsed, active, seekers, old and young-to shows us that Jesus came to address our universal longing for a fully human life, not to establish a narrow us versus them religion. Salvation is not about going to heaven when we die, it is about a full and abundant life now. In practical, down-to-earth, language, it will deal with the subject theologically (the incarnation), sociologically (our deepest human needs) and practically (how we can attain and maintain such a life).    Defines Jesus as a holistic God who emboldens us to live life to the fullestChallenges us to rethink what it means to be a ChristianAuthor's previous book (The Culturally Savvy Christian) was selected by Kirkus Reviews for their 2007 Religion and Spirituality edition This groundbreaking book helps us understand a more real sense of what Jesus meant by a fully human life"--
