About this ebook

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:

• Christianity’s impact on the value of human life, helping the poor, and education
• Christianity’s impact on world history and the founding of America 
• Christianity’s contribution to civil liberties, science, medicine, and economics
• Lives changed by Jesus Christ

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.

Ratings and reviews

In the face of withering assaults on Christianity, that are false and unfounded, this book gives Christians great encouragement and cause for hope in God. To the unbeliever it provides truth that refutes the basis and positions of the heretics of our time. Dr. Kennedy, now deceased, was a renowned scholar of impeccable character. I am very glad I read this book.

This is one of the best books I've ever read
