What she discovered early on is most people want to talk about Jesus: atheists, agnostics, Scientologists, broken-hearted Catholics, confused Baptists, Pentecostals, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus alike. While some do not share her belief that Jesus is the Messiah, they nonetheless have a universal fascination with Him. This singular Man who lived more than two thousand years ago, never traveled more than one hundred miles from where He was born, managed to change the entire world in His short thirty-three years of life. In The Jesus I Know, Kathie Lee shares cherished conversations about this rabbinic Jew that she's had with others who find Him to be an ancient historical figure who somehow continues to be an undeniably magnetic, relevant presence in the modern world.
