Why Jesus?

You’ve heard the name your whole life. Maybe you believe. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you walked away. But somewhere along the way, did anyone ever actually explain it? Why would anyone need Jesus? Why did he have to die? Why blood? Where were we headed without him?

Why Jesus? answers the questions people really ask, plainly and warmly, with the Bible open so you can check every answer for yourself. Starting in the garden of Eden and following the promise through prophecy, the bloodline of Jesus, the cross and the empty tomb, Miriam Oakley shows how the whole Bible points to one person, and why it matters for you.

No arguing. No name-calling. No church language left unexplained. Just Jesus: the one who went to the cross before you ever asked him to, who chose you knowing everything, and who invites you to come as you are.

Whether you’re searching, starting over, or have followed him for years without anyone connecting the dots, this book is for you.
