It has often been said that humans are hard-wired for belief in God and for religion. In Why Jesus Wont Go Away, Philip Skotte suggests that we are also hard-wired for Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus is the most globally widespread movement in human history, and it is growing more rapidly than ever before, even in remote and unexpected places. Why Jesus takes us on a world tour to discover the surprising sources of Jesus attraction and explores the powerful impact of his attraction on the human race. Written by a seasoned diplomat, Why Jesus Wont Go Away may change your calculations about humanitys religious future. It may also change your mind about Jesus.
