Your Jesus Is Too Safe

If you like your theology served with a side of sarcasm and a side of 80's pop culture references, then this is the book for you!  This is a well-written and readable book about the person and work of Jesus Christ.  Wilson mixes in timely humor with solid theology to keep the reader engaged.  I highly recommend this book.


From the back cover:

"There are too many Jesuses running rampant in the world today.  Culture has introduced us to Hippie Jesus, Postcard Jesus, and Get-out-of-hell-free Jesus.  There's also Grammy Award Jesus, Role Model Jesus, and Buddy Jesus.  The question is:  which one do you worship?"

"He may be the most popular, the most cited, the most admired, and the most controversial figure in all of history, but Jesus is more than a generic brand, a logo, or a pick-me-up.  He has been fictionalized, humanized, satirized, and romanticized.  And yet he still isn't recognized."

"Author Jared C. Wilson cuts through the glossy, modern perceptions of Jesus to rediscover the original and raw person who confronted the religious status quo and changed the world.  Sometimes controversial, sometimes humorous, but always truthful. Your Jesus Is Too Safe challenges readers to leave behind their feel-good Savior and embrace the true and living Christ."

"Open this book and take a closer look at who Jesus really is."
