The book also seems to understand the uniqueness of Jesus. It is pointed out that He was the creator and is totally involved in maintaining the universe. At the same time it emphasizes His humanity.
“Although by nature he is fully God, Jesus is fully human and lives as such.” p. 99The centrality of Jesus is well presented through the book.
“Like I said, everything is about him. Creation and history are all about Jesus. He is the very center of our purpose and in him we are now fully human, so our purpose and your destiny are forever linked. You might say that we have put all our eggs in the one human basket. There is no plan B.” p. 192One of the areas that sects and cults get off base is in the divinity and humanity of Christ. This book is good on that issue.
