Description
Jesus of Nazareth wasn't afraid to tell it like it is. Those who claim to follow him, on the other hand, often are. It's easy to settle for a tamed and domesticated Jesus. A bound-and-gagged Jesus. A Jesus of our own making. That's why this book focuses on the fifteen most outrageous things Jesus said: the fifteen things you are least likely to hear preached about in church. If you ever suspected that Jesus wasn't crucified for acting like a polite vicar in a pair of socks and sandals, then this book is for you. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready to discover the real Jesus in all his outrageous, ungagged glory.
Reviews / Votes
Original, shrewd and thought-provoking. -- R T Kendall "Whether you are a believer or merely a curious sceptic, this book will help you to discover Jesus as he really is." -- Sandy Millar, co-founder of The Alpha Course "In his distinctively provocative way, Phil Moore presents to us Jesus in full colour. Just like the Jesus it describes, you won't find it boring." -- Andrew Wilson - Author of "If God, Then What?" "What a book! It unleashes the most extraordinary figure in history. After reading it you will love him or hate him, but you will never be the same." -- PJ Smyth - GodFirst Church, Johannesburg, South Africa "This short book is downright dangerous! It demands attention. Prepare to be shocked, undone, and put back together again." -- Greg Haslam - Senior Pastor, Westminster Chapel, London, UK Based on a popular sermon series, this book is readable but certainly packs a provocative punch. -- Lucy Cooper * Idea Magazine * "It is unlikely that any Christian will remain unmoved and unchallenged. Where this book should really come into its own is with those exploring the faith, new believers or Christians whose faith has never really matured." * Evangelicals Now * `Moore fearlessly brings up subjects we need raised - such as pornography, anger, possessions and poverty.' -- Hugo & Sharon Anson * Christianity *More details
