Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

New York Times best-selling author Kathie Lee Gifford reveals heartwarming, entertaining conversations between people and personalities who both agree and disagree about who Jesus is, his role throughout history, and his presence in our lives today.

For decades, Kathie Lee has had deep conversations about her faith with anyone who is interested in talking about it. What she discovered early on is most people are very willing to talk about Jesus: atheists, agnostics, Scientologists, Jews, broken-hearted Catholics, confused Baptists, Pentecostals, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus alike.

While some of the people Kathie Lee has spoken with do not share her belief that Jesus is the Messiah - as prophesied for centuries by prophets in the Hebrew scriptures - they nonetheless have a universal fascination with him. This singular man who lived more than 2,000 years ago, and never traveled more than 100 miles from where he was born, managed to change the entire world. Even the way we delineate history (BC/AD) comes from his short 33 years of life.

In The Jesus I Know, Kathie Lee shares cherished conversations that she’s had with others who find Jesus to be an ancient historical figure who somehow continues to be an undeniably magnetic, relevant presence in the modern world. Those conversations include:

  • Actors like Kristin Chenoweth and Cynthia Garrett, with stories of Craig Ferguson and Kevin Costner
  • Newsmakers and news personalities like Kris Jenner, Megyn Kelly, Jason Kennedy, and Janice Dean
  • Performers like Chynna Phillips Baldwin, Brian Welch, Jimmie Allen, and Jimmy Wayne
  • Hitmakers like Louis York and David Pomeranz
  • As well as those coming from other faith traditions.

Using Kathie Lee’s favorite Scripture passages as scaffolding, these thought-provoking exchanges will bring his teachings to life before your very eyes.

A Scripture reference list is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I now love Kathie Lee for her heart!

I remember seeing Kathie Lee Gifford on TV when I was younger, but I never knew her story. I shared a little bit of my story on a local Facebook page and someone said you remind me a lot of Kathie Lee… You should read her book! I ordered it on Audible less than a day ago and I just finished it! I love the way she shares her faith!

It reminds me of probably one of my favorite Bible verses where Paul says “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but only God can make it grow.“.

Thank you Kathie Lee for sharing these stories!
