Description
When we think of Jesus, we usually think of His miracles, His masterful teaching, and His world-changing death and resurrection. But what about the unremarkable moments of Jesus’s life? What about Jesus coming home after a long day at work, navigating a family argument, or going to a friend’s wedding?
With pastoral warmth and fascinating historical details, Ryan Lokkesmoe invites you into the different areas of Jesus’s ordinary, everyday humanity:
- His childhood and home life
- His work life and finances
- His physical and emotional well-being
- His cultural and political contexts
- His weekly and yearly religious rhythms
When your faith feels disconnected from your day-to-day life, this insightful exploration of Jesus’s humanity will bring you hope and comfort. With thoughtful questions for group study, this book is perfect to share with others in your life who want to deepen their relationship with Jesus.

I found this an incredibly interesting book that was thought provoking. It was down to earth in that it was easy to follow rather than being too heavy which made it accessible. I think it’ll be really good for group discussion and is definitely something I feel I’ll be able to discuss with my small group once published!
Ryan Lokkesmoe brings us a great reminder in Jesus Was Human Too, by doing just that, showing us Jesus's humanity throughout scripture in different seasons and examples. Jesus as a twelve year old was just as human as any twelve year old, even if he was God in the flesh. Ryan brings us through different examples like his mixed up home life, his work life, his public life and his private life. Even to his family that goes past just his brother James and his mother Mary, but even to Joseph as well as other siblings that aren't mentioned. Very down to earth book, easy to read and comprehend, and yet still deep enough to make you think. I like the addition of discussion questions at the end of every chapter as well as a prayer to meditate on. Thank you, and I highly recommend this to others.
