Dust Cover Statements for The Incomparable Jesus:
"This book reminds me why I am proud to be a Christian; and it makes me
want to be a better one. This slender volume provides a better insight into
the atonement than anything I have ever read. Grant Palmer has given us a
timely gem of a book, one that is focused exclusively on the Savior."
(Dee Benson - Chief Judge,
U.S. Federal District Court of Utah)
"As I go around to visit the members of the Church in stake conferences and regional conferences,
often I ask them what they know about the life of the Savior . . . quite often their answers are
rather nebulous. . . . We need to . . . really emulate the Lord in our own lives and follow the example
He set for us."
(Russell M. Nelson, "The Mission and Ministry of the Savior," Ensign 35 [June 2005]: 19)
"LDS readers should welcome any new studies about Jesus since it seems that
few make the effort to read the wordy Jesus the Christ or the lengthy Mortal
Messiah series. There is a dearth of significant studies about Jesus in our
culture. Grant Palmer's interesting and readable book may fill that gap for
many students of the Gospel."
(Kent Dunford, CES retired, taught New
Testament studies for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for
many years at the LDS Institute of Religion near the University of Utah)
