One powerful truth is undeniable: if Christ had never been born, nearly every facet of human life would be worse. Discover what the world would have been like without Jesus, and how some of the world’s greatest accomplishments exist only because he lived.  

We live in a cynical age in which only one prejudice is tolerated: anti-Christian bigotry. Yet despite the near constant and attacks against the faith, one powerful truth is undeniable: if Christ had never been born, nearly every aspect of human life would be much more miserable than it is today.

In What if Jesus Had Never Been Born?, discover:

The author also examines what happens in a world without Christianity, as well as fulfilling the purpose of believers as we move forward.

Arranged topically and presenting compelling, little-known historical facts, What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? clearly demonstrates that an enormous benefits to humankind—from economics to art to government, science to civil liberties, morality to health, and beyond—would never have occurred had Jesus Christ not lived.

But the Bible, more than any other book, is also the most maligned on the market. Many of the cities of our culture dismiss the Word of God. In What If the Bible Had Never Been Written?, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe show that this collection of books was indeed the inspiration for almost all of the great explorers, scientists, writers, artists, politicians, and educators the world has ever known. That such a book, which has influenced so many and stood the test of time for so long, is dismissed as folklore or myth, just goes to show what extremes nonbelievers will go to rationalize their behavior.

From the Ten Commandments, which many of our laws and government are based upon, to the Golden Rule, a verse taken straight out of the New Testament, to many of today''s most common phrases and expressions...there is no doubt as to the influence the Bible has on everyone, in some degree, every day. What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? provides a well-documented and in-depth look at the impact the Book of Books has had on humanity, pointing to specific areas in today''s society that would not be as they are now, if it were not for the Bible.

In this powerful declaration of what Christians believe and why, Kennedy explores the foundations of the Christian faith. For new believers and seasoned Christians alike, this book will strengthen their faith by answering that all consuming question, "Why?"

Some people would gnash their teeth at the idea that America was – and can be again – a Christian nation. They will not be satisfied until they have removed every vestige of our Christian heritage from our minds and from our surroundings.

Yet in this book, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe document the incontrovertible fact that America began as a Christian nation. And "we can get back on track before it''s too late," they say. "What made us great in the first place is our rich Christian heritage. It''s time to reclaim America!"

Christians know that we are to walk the walk that Christ walked, making everyday decisions as God would have us do. The recent popularity of the WWJD? Movement highlights this desire. Yet few Christians take the time to explore God''s Will in every aspect of their lives and set goals that reflect a biblical approach to everyday life. D. James Kennedy uses biblical principles forged in his own life and in the life of the church to highlight practical ways for believers to go deeper in their spiritual walk and set long-term goals according to God''s Will. Readers will learn to partner with Christ and set goals that will affect the way they interact with family, friends, church, community, colleagues, and their environment.

Often a Bible passage''s meaning is obvious. But sometimes Scriptures seem incomprehensible, even contradictory. How do we as believers correctly interpret these puzzling passages? The author of What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? and What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? takes an in-depth look at passages of Scripture that are difficult to understand. From an overview of the dichotomy of faith versus works to the meaning behind I John 3:9 ("Whoever has been born of God does not sin." [NKJV], Solving Bible Mysteries offers powerful insight on some of Christianity''s challenging questions.
