Jesus: The God Who Grew Up Among Us, (Paperback)

Jesus: The God Who Grew Up Among Us is a vivid retelling of the life of Christ that dares to be human.
D. Michael Gross takes readers beyond the stained-glass versions of the gospel and back into the dirt, sweat, and wonder of first-century Palestine. From a cramped house in Nazareth to the banks of the Jordan, from workshop sawdust to Roman shadow, this is the story of divinity learning to walk in human skin.

Blending historical realism with theological precision, Gross portrays Jesus as fully God yet fully man-laughing, laboring, grieving, and growing within a world under Roman occupation. The result is a portrait both intimate and immense: the carpenter who built tables before He built a kingdom, the refugee who became Redeemer, the man whose humility overturned empires.

This is not a sentimental retelling. It is a gospel seen through calloused hands and tear-streaked dust-the God who grew up among us, and the world that has never been the same.
