Recovering the Way: How Ancient Discoveries Help Us Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus Today

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."

For twenty centuries billions of people have believed in the Truth of Jesus. Even more have aspired to the Life of Jesus. But how many have learned to follow the Way of Jesus? Yes, Jesus taught the most profound truths ever uttered in human history, but there was also a predictable pattern, an intentional rhythm, and a deliberate strategy to the way Jesus lived his remarkable life.

When we learn to practice his way as well as trust his truth, we will find ourselves beginning to live a life that looks more like Jesus. But, as Thomas asked Jesus, "How can we know the way?" This book addresses that question by navigating the centuries of history, language, and culture standing between us and the way of Jesus.

Recovering the Way is written for those who want to understand the truth Jesus taught and to live the way Jesus lived. Filled with over a hundred illustrations and photographs of ancient discoveries-illuminating his life from birth to resurrection-this book will show you how Jesus' teaching and example can shape your life too.
