We applaud men for doing good things. We enshrine God for doing great things. But what about a man who does God things? One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God. The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him. Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to? Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.… (more)

I just couldn't get used to the author's style - his short, clipped sentences that are supposed to sound like very modern vernacular, like someone talking to you. Reads like a transcript of a chatty sermon.

Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

Interesting reading. ( )

Next Door Savior is an excellent read for anyone. Have you ever felt disconnected from Jesus? Have you ever wondered if he really understands what we go through? Max Lucado does a great job at answering those questions in this book. ( )
