The incredible true story about a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.

Beautifully told through the eyewitness accounts of those who knew him best.

This real-life story will never leave you.

This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.

He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth.

His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming.

This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

The local elite and governing rulers eventually tortured him and put him to death in the most violent and public of ways. Yet that was only the beginning...

In the years since, billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth.

To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.

How we each respond to this story dictates the course of our lives. And it all rests on the great mystery that occurred at the end of his life - a supernatural event that he had predicted with utter clarity.

Did this humble man tell the truth?

Could one man really be the focal point of the universe?

Read on to find out, and get ready to make up your own mind.

Wherever this journey takes you, this is arguably:

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

About the Author

Bear Grylls is probably the most recognisable face of adventure on the planet.

He is a former 21 SAS soldier, who went on to become one of the youngest ever climbers of Mt Everest, despite breaking his back in a free-fall accident only months earlier.

From Everest he has gone on to host more extreme adventure TV shows across more global networks than anyone in history.

Bear's shows include the legendary Discovery channel show MAN Vs WILD and the hit show RUNNING WILD with Bear Grylls, now in its eighth season on National Geographic Channel and Disney Plus.

His guests have included: Will Ferrell, Bradley Cooper, Roger Federer, Julia Roberts, plus President Obama, Prime Minister Modi of India and many others.

Bear currently hosts the hit Netflix series Bear Hunt where he takes 12 celebrities to the jungle, trains them up, before hunting and tracking them down. This became the Number One show on Netflix.

He is a double BAFTA & EMMY winner, a family man, and a No. 1 bestselling author who has sold over 20 million books.

He is the Honorary Colonel to the British Royal Marine Commandos, & the first ever Chief Ambassador to 55 million young Scouts worldwide.

He is married to Shara with 3 sons. They live part of the year off grid on a small remote Welsh island.
