What Would Jesus Read?

Daily Devotions That Guided the Savior
After the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, the Jews were exiled to Babylon. Not only was there no longer a physical place to pray, even the sacred Scriptures were becoming scarce. Many of the biblical scrolls were lost or destroyed during the exile. In an attempt to preserve the Scriptures, the Rabbis divided up the biblical texts into weekly reading portions and distributed them among the families of Israel. Each was responsible for memorizing their assigned passage and then reading it in the synagogue every Sabbath.
This system of reading is the basis for the story found in Luke 4:16-17: "He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him."
This system is still in use today by Jews all over the world. In What Would Jesus Read?, Joe Amaral gives modern day Christians the opportunity to follow and practice the same devotional system that Jesus used!

Why Jesus?, Ravi Zacharias
January 25, 2012
Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Marketed Spirituality
Ravi Zacharias believes that over the past forty years movements like New Age spirituality and society's obsession with human potential have combined to redefine for popular culture what has been for centuries the classic biblical definition of the person, work, and teaching of Jesus Christ.
Major new age and human potential tenets will be discussed like: the belief that we are all gods and have to discover our divinity; Jesus was only a good teacher; Christianity is but one among many ways to eternal life; reincarnation is real; Jesus was married; truth is relative; there is no sin; and perfection is possible.
The truth of and the arguments for the bodily resurrection of Jesus will be presented as the most important argument for the exclusive claims about Jesus and Christianity.

Beautiful Outlaw, John Eldredge
October 12, 2011
Shattering the stained glass with a compelling portrait of the personality of Jesus
Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things.
In BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass.

Editor Buzz: John Eldredge and Jesus

Beautiful Outlaw:Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus
Editor Buzz with FaithWords Editor Joey Paul
Over the years, I've read several books on the person and work of Jesus Christ. I've even had the privilege of publishing several, but I have to say, the new book by John Eldredge, Beautiful Outlaw, is the most compelling and insightful book of Jesus I've ever read. Where John's book Wild at Heart set masculinity free from the "nice guy" mentality of the church, Beautiful Outlaw sets Jesus free from the numbing religious stereotypes by helping readers discover the "personality" Christ demonstrated while here on earth (which was often extravagant, disruptive, and playful). The author believes that reading the gospels without the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things.
Eldredge shatters the stained glass to reveal stunning new insights in familiar stories, including the fact that the wine Jesus created at Cana amounted to 908 bottles, late in the celebration – an act of scandalous generosity.
The book presents three major themes. The first is the personality of Jesus – it is often scandalous and it is utterly engaging. The second is the way we can experience him in our life – that same Jesus is available to us, here and now. The third is what his life actually means for ours – we get to live a life of the same quality, the same power.
John Eldredge is the founder and director of Ransomed Heart Ministries located in Colorado Springs, CO, an organization devoted to helping people live their true identities in Jesus Christ by living from their heart. Ransomed Heart hosts several events around the country each year.
If you read only one serious book this year, you'll do yourself a favor by reading Beautiful Outlaw.
BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW pubs 10/12/11.
Joey Paul is an Executive Editor at FaithWords, an imprint of the Hachette Book Group.

Joe Amaral: Understanding Jesus
April 7, 2011
Cultural Insights into the Words and Deeds of Christ

In UNDERSTANDING JESUS, author Joe Amaral delves deep into Jewish history, societal mores, and cultural traditions, closing the gap created by geographical distance and over two thousand years of history.
