Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
When’s the last time you were captivated by Jesus? Crowds clamored, women wept in awe, disciples dared to do the impossible—all because of Jesus. Somewhere in the overly familiar we’ve lost our fascination. Whether you’re worn thin, filled with questions, or desperate for more of God, come encounter Unexplainable Jesus. Experience the culture and customs of His day and follow Him into a life unimaginable.

This study features in-depth study of Luke (40 lessons over 8 weeks), historical and cultural insights, soul-searching questions, and access to online resources. Step into the streets of Jerusalem and encounter the Jewish Rabbi who turned the world upside down. After rediscovering Jesus on the pages of the book of Luke—or maybe discovering Him for the very first time—you’ll see there is no other plan, goal, ambition, or Person worth following but Jesus.

Plus, check out the Unexplainable Jesus DVD, which contains hours of all-new video teaching content from Erica Wiggenhorn.


My Review:
Unexplainable Jesus is an eight week Bible study of Luke. Each week started with an introduction and then five days of working through the verses. Each day covered a new chunk of verses, and she slowly worked through all of Luke. Each day started with the Bible reading and a lot of commentary about the verses, including cultural background and word studies. She included some questions about what you read which help bring out important points. She provided commentary about the answers to the questions after asking them, so you have some idea of the answer she was looking for and why they were important. She also had several personal application questions at the end as well as a summary of what we learned. I felt like she did an excellent job of bringing out insights from the text to help the reader to better understand what was going on. Overall, I'd recommend this excellent Bible study to individuals, though I think it could also be adapted to be used as a group study.
