NOTES

A Stirring Account of Christianity's Power for Good. In a day when Christians are often attacked for their beliefs, professor and speaker Jeremiah Johnston offers an inspiring look at the positive influence of Christianity, both historically and today. In Unimaginable, you'll discover the far-reaching ways that Christianity is good for the world--and has been since the first century AD--including:ʺ How the plights of women and children in society were forever changed by Jesusʺ Why democracy and our education and legal systems owe much to Christianity ʺ How early believers demonstrated the inherent value of human life by caring for the sick, handicapped, and dyingʺ How Christians today are extending God's kingdom through charities, social justice efforts, and other profound ways. Like It's a Wonderful Life, the classic film that showed George Bailey how different Bedford Falls would be without his presence, Unimaginable guides readers through the halls of history to see how Jesus' teachings dramatically changed the world and continue to be the most powerful force for good today. This provocative and enlightening book is sure to encourage believers and challenge doubters
