Citi of Books Presents “Who Is This Jesus Christ? The Power of The Cross” by Dr. Finnian Ebuehi at the 78th Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026

There are days when life feels steady, almost predictable, and then there are days when it doesn’t. Days when questions sit a little heavier than usual. The kind that don’t really have quick answers. Why things fall apart. Why people carry guilt they don’t talk about. Why hope can feel close one moment and distant the next. It’s in that quiet, slightly unsettled space that a book like “Who Is This Jesus Christ? The Power of The Cross” by Dr. Finnian Ebuehi seems to step in, not loudly, not dramatically, but with a kind of steady insistence: look closer, there’s more here.

The book doesn’t try to charm its way in. It doesn’t soften its edges or dress things up to make them easier to swallow. Instead, it leans into something deeper, something a little uncomfortable at times, if being honest. It asks the kind of questions people tend to avoid when life gets busy: Who is Jesus, really? And more importantly, why does it matter now, not just in some distant, historical sense?

What’s interesting is how the writing feels less like a lecture and more like someone thinking out loud, carefully, sometimes circling the same idea again just to make sure it lands. There’s a rhythm to it, uneven in places, sure, but human. It doesn’t rush. It lingers. And that lingering does something. It gives the reader time to wrestle with the weight of what’s being said.

At the center of everything is the cross. Not as a symbol people casually wear or pass by without much thought, but as something raw, almost confrontational in its meaning. The book keeps returning to it, again and again, like it’s the one place all the loose ends of life somehow tie together. Redemption, sacrifice, forgiveness, the kind that can feel abstract until they’re brought down to a more personal level. And when they are, the message shifts. It becomes less about theory and more about something that feels… uncomfortably close.
