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. Expect this book to body check any and every dilution, modification, or misrepresentation of the divine nature of God, and get set on fire with the biblical truth of Jesus. ~Ibukun Olagbemi, D.M.D., Olagbemi Endodontics, LLCYour knowledge and flow of the Word is incredible and you are in the middle of validating a very good calling for you as a spiritual warrior. ~Steve Economopoulos, CFP, ChFC, CMT, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Strategist, Econ Wealth ManagementAmazing writing, great message. ~Edgar Lopez, Legacy Faith Church, Harrisburg, PAThe book does well to challenge people’s perception of Christ which allows them to receive the image of Him greater than they have previously allowed themselves, or accepted. ~Steve Prouse, Fourth Watch MinistriesAbout the AuthorCharlie Artz has practiced healthcare law for 34 years in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He has briefed and/or argued more than two dozen cases in Pennsylvania appellate courts and the United States Court of Appeals and won a case in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Coupled with his legal skills, his gifting provides a unique platform to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Charlie unabashedly shares his Faith and encourages others to do so. He has been called to recruit, equip, train, and mobilize spiritual warriors for spiritual battle in the marketplace, the gym, the home, and the ballpark to facilitate a personal move of God in people’s lives for the purposes of transformation and revival. He operates in Faith without fear. He is blessed to be the dad of four beautiful, brilliant, and redeemed children.

Jesus Journey: Shattering the Stained Glass Superhero and Discovering the Humanity of God

by Trent Sheppard

Jesus 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.

Jesus Of Nazareth: What He Wanted, Who He Was

by Linda M. Maloney Gerhard Lohfink

Who was Jesus? A prophet? There have been many of those. A miracle-worker? A radical revolutionary? A wise teacher? There have been many of these, too. In his latest book, renowned Scripture scholar Gerhard Lohfink asks, What is unique about Jesus of Nazareth, and what did he really want? <P><P> Lohfink engages the perceptions of the first witnesses of his life and ministry and those who handed on their testimony. His approach is altogether historical and critical, but he agrees with Karl Barth's statement that "historical criticism has to be more critical." <P><P> Lohfink takes seriously the fact that Jesus was a Jew and lived entirely in and out of Israel's faith experiences but at the same time brought those experiences to their goal and fulfillment. The result is a convincing and profound picture of Jesus.

Jesus On Trial: A Lawyer Affirms The Truth Of The Gospel

by David Limbaugh

New York Times Bestseller! <P> In Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive inquiry-including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels-and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.

Jesus Only Churches

by E. Calvin Beisner Alan W. Gomes

Unlike Jehovah's Witnesses, who deny the Trinity by demoting Jesus to a mere man, the "Jesus Only" churches deny the Trinity by claiming that there is only one God, and that Jesus is the Father and the Holy Spirit. "Jesus Only" churches not only require baptism for salvation, but also stipulate that it must be baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ only, and not in the name of the Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus, these churches distort the gospel and the historic, orthodox understanding of Jesus. Why this series? This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because you may not have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential and reliable information and insights for their spiritual journeys. The second wave of books in this series addresses a broad range of spiritual beliefs, from non-Trinitarian Christian sects to witchcraft and neo-paganism to classic non-Christian religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. All books but the summary volume, Truth and Error, contain five sections: -A concise introduction to the group being surveyed -An overview of the group’s theology — in its own words -Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group -A bibliography with sources for further study -A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group -Truth and Error, the last book in the series, consists of parallel doctrinal charts compiled from all the other volumes. Three distinctives make this series especially useful to readers: -Information is carefully distilled to bring out truly essential points, rather than requiring readers to sift their way through a sea of secondary details. -Information is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow outline form with “menu bar” running heads. This format greatly assists the reader in quickly locating topics and details of interest. -Each book meets the needs and skill levels of both nontechnical and technical readers, providing an elementary level of refutation and progressing to a more advanced level using arguments based on the biblical text. The writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help readers to discern truth from falsehood.
