Why On Earth Did Jesus Come?
by John Blanchard
GoodBookStall Review:
John Blanchard is an internationally known author, evangelist and Christian apologist. In this slim booklet he sets out clearly and firmly the beliefs he preaches worldwide. Giving historical background and many Biblical references he sets out the reasons for believing Christ’s virgin conception, refuting atheist arguments to the contrary and showing that we are all in need of repentance and the salvation that Jesus Christ offers freely to each one of us. He explains why he does not believe Roman Catholic claims about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and this in turn helps us understand the different viewpoints of the Christian denominations. He shows how distorted our behaviour at Christmas has become and how we need to concentrate on the true reason for Jesus coming to earth.
