Belief in Jesus offers what psychologists can never provide: a master vision. Jesus himself said that if we would accept and live his message, if we would make his vision our own, we would become the fully alive branches of his life giving vine. The person and vision of Jesus are the truth that sets us free from the inner tyrants that torment us.

In The Christian Vision, John Powell describes the joy filled and liberating master vision of Jesus, as he understands it. He explores in detail the attitudes that underlie this vision-attitudes that shape and govern our perception of self, others, the world, God, suffering, the Church, and the will of God. He shows how our attitudes determine the nature of our experiences and make life happy or unhappy, pleasurable or painful.

Powell states: "Of this one thing I am certain. To the extent ther you and I truly understand and live the vision of Jesus, we will be that much more free to live, to love, to grow, and to experience the fullness of life that Jesus holds out to us.
