From the back of the book:

"Experiencing Jesus anew:  Diana Butler Bass is one of only a few modern Christian writers who can absolutely blow me away with both spiritual insight and beautiful writing.  She is brilliant scholar and a wonderful storyteller, charming and devout, erudite and deeply human." - Anne Lamott

"I would not have spent nearly as much time in jail, nor enjoyed half the friendships I've known, if I hadn't decided to follow the brown-skinned Palestinian Jew from Nazareth.  I'm grateful for the many ways Bass's memoir theology resonates with my experience of a faith that will never allow us to separate love for Jesus from work for justice in this world." - Bishop William J Barber II

"I recommend "Freeing Jesus" to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of who Jesus is.  Bass's incredible wisdom is a breath of fresh air in a time where hope is desperately needed." - Kirsten Powers

"From one of our great Christian writers, a book on the heart of Christianity.  Diana Butler Bass's new book is an inviting, accessible, provocative, challenging, and always inspiring look at the one whom so many follow, and whom others will enjoy coming to know more deeply:  Jesus Christ." - James Martin
