Bass, Diana Butler

As with mysticism, highly personal accounts of Jesus run the risk of portraying the Jesus one wants to see, rather than encountering the transformative power of the Spirit. Bass neatly avoids most of this and so provides a portrait of Jesus for progressive Christians of all stripes that is as tangible, compelling, and biblical as the Christ of their more fundamentalist counterparts.

Will appeal to the spiritually minded seeking an encouraging and challenging read. Strongly recommended for libraries of all types.

Bass's dedicated readers will get a great deal from this work, but those new to her message will benefit as well.
