As Sanders himself admits, "To conceive and portray a perfect character is beyond the powers of erring man. " Yet it is Christ whom Sanders reflects upon in this thorough, readable, and timeless work. Beginning with Christ's birth and concluding with his impending return, Sanders steps through every stage of the life of Christ. Sanders' purpose is clear: "It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit, who delights to reveal the things of Christ to us, will unveil his glory to those who read this book. " - Back cover.
