About this eBook

What If Jesus Had Not Come Until Today? Who Would Follow Him? Who Would Kill Him?A fiery car crash hurls TV journalist Conrad Davis into another world exactly like ours except for one detail--Jesus Christ did not come 2,000 years ago, but today.Starting with angels heralding a birth in the back of a motel laundry room, the skeptical Davis watches the gospel unfold in today’s society as a Messiah in T-shirt and blue jeans heals, raises people from the dead, and speaks such startling truths that he captures the heart of a nation.But the young man’s actions and his criticism of the religious establishment earn him enemies as ruthless as they are powerful.An intense and thought-provoking novel, Eli strips away religious tradition to present Jesus fresh and unvarnished. With gripping immediacy, Bill Myers weaves a story whose truth will refresh your faith.

Ratings and reviews

I got to be there with jesus as a diciple! The contemporary setting did wonders for my imagination...thinking how people really would react today. I know id be a skeptic expecially if I never heard of jesus before I would have a terrible time accepting some kid doing crazy supernatural things...but if god was changing your heart as you wanted it to be true...then yes ...left up to me id miss the boat probably. Jesus 12 were truley blessed with faith...they seem so thick headed in the bible not believing that he was the son of god...but its only because we know the ending...we would be the same way. God plan was perfect as hard as it is to read and as amazing as it is to live.

The writing is a but simplistic (you'll never ever reach for the dictionary), and how the protagonist Conrad still can't figure out some things after he's figured out the main thing is still a bit puzzling to me. However, to take Jesus Christ (Eli) and place him in a modern setting is very interesting. Worth a read.

I had this book when it first came out, loan it to an friend and he said it was so good of an book, that he loan it to another. Don't know where that book went to but I hope someone really enjoys it. I had download the ebook so I can read it again. Thanks a bunch.
