Official synopsis Publisher
In a world full of religious options, the claims of Jesus are often seen as divisive and intolerant. That compelling reality poses a great challenge to followers of Jesus who desire to remain faithful to Him while demonstrating to their world that Jesus is the way. How do we take the good news of Christ’s liberating love to a world that thinks that our message is scandalous and exclusively arrogant?
The Trouble with Jesus leads us in the discovery and application of the strategy that Jesus left for early followers who thrived in a similar environment. Their unflinching commitment to this salt-light strategy in a resistant world won the hearts of their families, neighbors and friends, and eventually the Roman Empire. For all of us who want others to taste the love and life that we have found in Jesus, the salt-light strategy is ours for the taking. While living for Jesus has never been more challenging, showing Him to others has never been more compelling.
The Trouble with Jesus is dedicated to helping His followers know that it is now time to draw the line and show the world that Jesus is the way.
