About this ebook

For many years, best-selling author Michael Phillips assumed he clearly understood the life of Jesus. Though Jesus was in truth his Savior, and even his Lord, Phillips felt challenged to understand more of the remarkable life lived two thousand years ago in Palestine. Then came a crisis in his spiritual pilgrimage when circumstances forced him to open the book of his life in a new way, and delve more deeply into the fundamental why of Jesus' life.

Challenged to discover the New Testament imperative for his life, Phillips takes a fresh look at the Bible to find out what is the essence, the foundation, of spirituality. Boiled down. The raw reality of the gospel. No frills. No excess baggage. No trite little phrases learned in Sunday school or youth group.

He discovers a key that gives validity to an entire life's purpose and perspective as a Christian for right now. Not in some grandiose, far-reaching way . . . but the link between belief and practice, between eternity and now, between Christianity as a world religion, and Christianity as a practical guidebook for going about the business of life in the trenches. For if ever a man walked in harmony between ultimate purpose and the next five minutes, that man was Jesus Christ. And that key to Jesus' life was obedience.

Ratings and reviews

Jesus is an obedient Son, by Michael Phillips, is a Christian book revealing a unique view of how the life of a Christian should be like in the modern age. Jesus is an obedient Son because he did the will of God and He came to earth to show us how to do likewise. He came to subserve our wills, priorities, attitudes and our motives. This book takes us into the experiencing the life of Jesus as if he came to earth at this point in time. That He happens to live during our time and calling each one of us individually to follow him. This book also challenges us to follow in Jesus’s example of we should live and die as per the will of God, and not as per our own will, i.e. obedience.

This short book challenges any Christian who takes their faith walk seriously. You'll be examining yourself closely

Drilling through to the bedrock of what it means to follow Christ.
