In Jesus: The Gift Without the Wrapping, Terry O’Brien presents an enlightened understanding of the humanity of Jesus. A window to God is opened because through Jesus, in his humanity, in the person he was and is, we can know God. This book is for the open-minded who want to live fully by following the spirit of the ‘human’ Jesus and who want to gaze at the mystery of God revealed in the human.
