Jesus Is Here: The Sequel to In His Steps (Inspirational Library)
by Charles SheldonJesus Is Here begins seventeen years after the close of the bestselling classic In His Steps, continuing the story of the main characters of Sheldon's first novel. Join Reverend Henry Maxwell and his congregation as they experience the living presence of the man Jesus, who revolutionizes the modern world and challenges their daily lives to the very core.Sheldon said, "It has not been my purpose to describe what is called the second coming of Christ, but to picture another appearance of Jesus and describe His action in a modern world. The world today is far different from the world in which the historical Jesus was born."Jesus Is Here is a challenging reminder that our world needs to know Jesus as a real person who truly is here with us throughout the activities and events of our daily lives.

Jesus Is Lord: An Introduction to the New Testament (Second Edition)
by Kenneth SchenckThis book has arisen from a number of concerns. Perhaps the greatest is the incredible gap that often exists between the academy and the pew. The developments and agreements that are common knowledge among scholars often take decades to filter down to the layperson. Sometimes by then the scholars have even changed their minds! Even worse is setting up our youth for faith crises because we stake Christianity on something inappropriate, like a particular version of the Bible or on the possibility of harmonizing the gospels. How often we forget that the living, exalted Christ stands at the heart of the matter. It is to Him that the Bible points! This book shows that we too often have let the skeptic set the terms of debate over the Bible. When we let the Bible's world set its own terms, many of these "problems" disappear.

Jesus Is the Christ: Studies in the Theology of John
by Leon MorrisMore than simply a series of chapters on the theology of John's Gospel, Jesus Is the Christ relates each of John's teachings to his declared aim, expressed in John 20: 30-31: "Jesus did many other signs before his disciples, which have not been written in this book; but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name." Indeed, each chapter in Morris's book takes up some facet or aspect of John's expressed aim.For an age still asking the question "Who is Jesus?" Leon Morris argues convincingly that John's entire Gospel was written to show that the human Jesus is the Christ, or Messiah, as well as the Son of God. But it is Morris's firm conviction that John's purpose was evangelical as well as theological -- that is, John wrote his book so that readers might believe in Christ and as a result have eternal life.
Jesus Is the Question: The 307 Questions Jesus Asked and the 3 He Answered
by Martin B. CopenhaverContrary to some common assumptions, Jesus is not the ultimate Answer Man, but more like the Great Questioner. In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers 3. Asking questions was central to Jesus’ life and teachings. In fact, for every question he answers directly he asks—literally—a hundred. Jesus is the Question considers the questions Jesus asks—what they tell us about Jesus and, more important, what our responses might say about what it means to follow Him. Through Jesus’ questions, he modeled the struggle, the wondering, the thinking it through that helps us draw closer to God and better understand, not just the answer, but ourselves, our process and ultimately why questions are among Jesus’ most profound gifts for a life of faith. A game-changer of a book.
Jesus Is the Reset
by Nick Hall"Our prayer for you, as you make your way through this book, is that your life would be the next one changed. ...Jesus really does change everything. Whatever you need 'reset' in your life can be changed here and now, today." --From the book's foreword by Josh McDowell, Luis Palau, and Ravi Zacharias #JesusChangesEverything #JesusIsTheReset Let Jesus Be Your Reset Do you want to make a difference with your life, but you're having trouble moving on from your past? "Follow me," Jesus told his early followers, "and I'll show you life as it was meant to be lived." Nick Hall reminds us that Jesus says the same thing to us today: "Trust me. Follow me. Come to me dirty, and I'll clean you up. Come broken, and I'll reassemble the parts. Come desperate, and I'll replace pain with joy. Come to me with all your questions, all your confusion, all your fear. I can reset your purity, your self-image, your faith. Come." Whatever has been holding you back, a reset is available to you by the grace of God. Say yes to the life you were meant to live. From the Hardcover edition.

Jesus Isn't Soft: Knowing His Authentic Toughness
by Charlie Artz"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. ~ Jesus, John 14:6 KJVPeople propagate a "soft Jesus" to justify their own weakness, unbelief, lack of faith or to advance a political agenda in contradiction of God’s unequivocal Word. They try to jam Jesus into a mold consistent with what they want Jesus to be according to their needs, ignoring who Jesus truly is. No reasonable basis in fact or law justifies this approach.Called to recruit, equip, train, and mobilize spiritual warriors for spiritual battle, teacher and attorney, Charlie Artz, challenges the notion of a "soft Jesus" by revealing Jesus' authentic toughness.If you see Jesus as genteel and soft, if your belief is more about convenience than fact, or if you're imprisoned—literally or figuratively—this book is for you.It's time to change your perception.A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is His delight. ~Proverbs 11:1 This book sets the scales back in balance, weighing the meekness of the Lord Jesus and the Christ follower accurately with the limitless strength of the Lord Jesus Christ and what is available to us who follow Him.

Jesus Journey: Shattering the Stained Glass Superhero and Discovering the Humanity of God
by Trent SheppardJesus was human, like you and me. If the gospel is true, he still is.Christians worldwide believe that Jesus is God. But this belief wasn’t the starting point for Jesus’ earliest followers. While Jesus’ humanity was a given for the disciples, his divinity was a truth they grew into believing—it was a journey of faith. As Christians today, we are also called into a faith journey—this time, to rediscover Jesus’ humanity.Yes, we believe that Jesus is God, but do we truly believe that Jesus is human? And if so, how does that transform our own experience of being human?Through eye-opening yet down-to-earth reflections, Jesus Journey invites you to encounter Jesus again—as if for the first time—by experiencing his breathing, heart-beating, body-and-blood, crying-and-laughing humanity.Join Bible teacher and storyteller Trent Sheppard as he shines new light on the vibrant humanity of the historical Jesus through an up-close look at Jesus’ relationships with Mary and Joseph, with the God he called Abba, with his closest friends and followers, and how, ultimately, his crucifixion and resurrection finally and forever redefine what we mean by the word God. Come encounter the human who radically transforms our view of God.Come encounter the God who forever changes what it means to be human.
Jesus Laughed: The Redemptive Power of Humor
by Robert Darden“Agony and hilarity,” said Norman MacLean, “are both necessary for salvation.” We Christians seem to know a lot about the agony part, but what about hilarity? Why do we have to remind ourselves so often that the Bible is full of funny and ridiculous stories and situations? Why do so few of the pictures we’ve drawn of Jesus show him laughing? Because we’ve forgotten the redemptive power of humor, that’s why. In Jesus Laughed, Robert Darden–senior editor of The Wittenburg Door, the world’s oldest, largest, and pretty much only religious satire magazine–draws on his years of experience deflating religious pomposity and making the faithful laugh to show why humor is so central to the faith, and how to make it a big part of your daily walk with God.Click here to listen to Terri Gross's interview with Robert Darden on NPR's Fresh Air about the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project. Darden runs the project at Baylor University where he is a journalism professor. The purpose of the project is to identify, acquire, preserve, record, and catalogue the most at-risk music from the black gospel music tradition, primarily between 1945 and 1970. Robert Darden is Associate Professor of Journalism at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He served for 12 years as Gospel Music Editor for Billboard magazine, and since 1988 has been Senior Editor of The Wittenburg Door, the world’s oldest, largest, and “pretty much only” religious satire magazine. He is the author of more than 25 books, including the definitive People Get Ready! A New History of Black Gospel Music, which has been featured on National Public Radio, and Reluctant Prophets and Clueless Disciples, also published by Abingdon Press.
