An attempt to extract and examine the biases in the author's own faith <em>Jesus Without Borders </em>will have readers questioning if they believe certain things because they are a Christian or because they are an American as they meet believers from around the world with differing views on a variety of subjects.</p><p>Told with Gibbs' trademark humor <em>Jesus Without Borders </em>enlightens and entertains introducing readers to believers around the world in hopes of eliminating prejudices and misconceptions clearing away the parts of our culture that keep us from seeing a clearer picture of Christ and living connected to the family of faith around the globe.</p>
