About this ebook
One powerful truth is undeniable: if Christ had never been born, nearly every facet of human life would be worse. Discover what the world would have been like without Jesus, and how some of the world’s greatest accomplishments exist only because he lived.
We live in a cynical age in which only one prejudice is tolerated: anti-Christian bigotry. Yet despite the near constant and attacks against the faith, one powerful truth is undeniable: if Christ had never been born, nearly every aspect of human life would be much more miserable than it is today.
In What if Jesus Had Never Been Born?, discover:
- Christianity’s impact on the value of human life, helping the poor, and education
- Christianity’s impact on world history and the founding of America
- Christianity’s contribution to civil liberties, science, medicine, and economics
- Lives changed by Jesus Christ
The author also examines what happens in a world without Christianity, as well as fulfilling the purpose of believers as we move forward.
Arranged topically and presenting compelling, little-known historical facts, What If Jesus Had Never Been Born? clearly demonstrates that an enormous benefits to humankind—from economics to art to government, science to civil liberties, morality to health, and beyond—would never have occurred had Jesus Christ not lived.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book begins with the history of how human life had little to no value, the infanticide, sacrifices, and the cruel treatment towards the elderly.
The chapters cover everything from civilization changes, value of life, helping the poor, government with Christian foundation, civil liberties, science, work ethic, sex and family, healing the sick, art, music, literature, the negative history and when restraints are removed.
Pg. 89 Many people view Christianity as an impediment to the continuation of their "freedom" to sin. But they have transformed liberty into license, and in the worst form of licentiousness, they don't want anybody speaking against that or in any way restraining them. Hence, the modern hedonist views Christianity as repressive and not liberating.
pg. 189 People are not improved by atheism unless they so define that as abandoning a twisted form of Christianity that isn't Christianity at all!
pg. 205 Despite all the good the Church has done and continues to do, we're reminded ad nauseum about the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the witch-hunts - as if they are the sum total of the Christian record in history.
(Ironically this was just mentioned in the media and so found it to be very ironic the timing and all). Interestingly enough the witch hunts were stopped by two Christian men. But to that story there's more than we may ever know.
The book was a very thought provoking and well written. I would highly recommend this book.
