Book Review: Profound Secrets of Jesus and His Inner Circle

Profound Secrets of Jesus and His Inner Circle. Patrick B. Cage, Christian Faith Publishing, Inc., March 9, 2021, Paperback and eBook, 164 pages.

Review by Brian Johnston.

Jesus is one of the most fascinating figures in the history of mankind. So much has been written about him, yet there is still a lot that we are trying to learn and to understand about him. As a Christian myself, I am frequently trying to understand Jesus's life and his teachings and to learn more about the salvation story.

That is why I was interested to read Patrick B. Cage's new book, Profound Secrets of Jesus and His Inner Circle. The book seeks to explain the salvation story in detail while describing Jesus's relationship with many other important Biblical figures and why their role in the story is essential. In this regard, the book did not disappoint.

The author objectively examines Christianity, something I feel we need more of today. Cage starts by discussing God's Covenants with the Patriarchs, followed by an examination of whether Jesus actually existed, concluding that he did. 

The book presents a lot of interesting information about many Biblical figures, much of which I did not know, and emphasizes the role that women played in Jesus's life. The author describes them as an important part of Jesus's ministry while spending a lot of time discussing the relationship with Mary Magdalene.

The author also delves into the role of the Apostle Paul and the role that he played in establishing and helping to spread Christianity in its early days. I learned a lot about him while learning that the author's claims about him are backed up with plenty of facts and historical evidence.

Overall, I found this to be an interesting read. The writing was of high quality, and it is clear that the author did a lot of research and put a lot of thought and analysis into his findings. Profound Secrets of Jesus and His Inner Circle prompted me to stop and think about the different aspects of my faith, about why the salvation story is so important and yet complex enough that we must discuss and think about it in new ways as often as we can.

So, if you're looking to learn more about Jesus and the salvation story, or if you just want some new perspectives or different ways to think about them, I would recommend reading this book. It should be a great addition to all the literature about Jesus and Christianity.
