Book excerpt: Why did Jesus spend forty days on earth after his death when he could have returned home to the majesty of heaven? And out of all the people on the planet at that time who could have helped him get a major religious movement off the ground, why did he seek out those who had run the other way when he was crucified? In this fascinating book, Jo Kadlecek shows readers how the disciples who saw Jesus after his death were changed from sometimes bumbling scaredy-cats to pillars of the Christian faith. She invites readers to experience their own transformation in every part of life--relationships, jobs, finances, family, and more--as they come to a new understanding and appreciation of the basis of the faith: the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Book excerpt: In his bold new book A Different Jesus: A Christian Theology Big Enough for an Interfaith World, Jan Linn presents an eye-opening perspective on the place of Jesus and Christianity in a changing world. As he examines the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection, Linn reveals that a welcoming Christianity, one that does not claim to be the only means of salvation, is not only possible, but grounded in scripture. As our multicultural, interfaith world continues to grow smaller, Linn's insight offers a way for Christians to be firm in their own faith while lovingly embracing our brothers and sisters of different faiths.

With the advantage of a solid theological education and the privilege of living among communities of people world-wide with vastly different perspectives, Phil Skotte here presents richly woven insights into his studied conviction that we are all hard wired for Jesus: that Jesus is not going away. This book is a gem. Read it! Samuel Hugh Moffett Emeritus Professor of Ecumenics and Mission Princeton Theological Seminary Princeton, New Jersey It has often been said that humans are hard-wired for belief in God and for religion. In Why Jesus Won’t Go Away, Philip Skotte suggests that we are also hard-wired for Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus is the most globally widespread movement in human history, and it is growing more rapidly than ever before, even in remote and unexpected places. Why Jesus takes us on a world tour to discover the surprising sources of Jesus’ attraction and explores the powerful impact of his attraction on the human race. Written by a seasoned diplomat, Why Jesus Won’t Go Away may change your calculations about humanity’s religious future. It may also change your mind about Jesus.

Book excerpt: The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should followers of Christ live in a multi-religious world? This book argues that the example of Jesus has something fresh and helpful to say to those who ponder the question. It takes something old--the example of Jesus--to say something new to our pluralist world. Most of the book examines the meetings of Jesus with Gentiles and Samaritans. This is a scholarly but accessible discussion of what it might mean to "have the same attitude of mind that Christ Jesus had" in our contemporary multi-religious world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the God who created us better than the God we've created? After following Jesus for nearly two decades, Jonathan Merritt decides to confront the emptiness of a faith that has become dry, predictable, and rote. In a moment of desperation, he cries out for God to show up and surprise him, and over the next year, God doesn't disappoint. In Jesus is Better Than You Imagined, Jonathan shares vulnerable, never-before-shared stories of how he learned to encounter Jesus in unexpected ways. Through a 60-hour vow of silence in a desert monastery, he experiences Jesus in silence. When a friend dies of a rare disease, he sees Jesus in tragedy. Through confronting childhood sexual abuse, Jonathan discovers Jesus in honesty. In an anti-Christian-themed bar, he finds Jesus in sacrilege. And when he's almost kidnapped in Haiti by armed bandits, he experiences Jesus in the impossible. Though Merritt finds himself in places he never dreamed of, he doesn't lose his way. Instead, these experiences force him back to the Bible, where he repeatedly offers fresh, sometimes provocative, interpretations of familiar passages. Along the way, he throws back the covers on the sleepy faith of many Christians, urging them to search for the Holy in their midst. Pointed and poignant by turns, Jonathan helps readers open their hearts to a mysterious God and a faith that sustains, guides, and most importantly, surprises. His fearlessly honest story invites us all to discover the messy mercy and crazy grace of a sometimes startling Savior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of our "insensitivity" to the will of God Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ may perhaps awaken our spiritual values and challenges us about the reality of heaven and hell in the afterlife. The Passion of Christ, Strengthen Us..., written by Dr. E. M. Abear, tells us that if we have for a moment what St. Faustina saw in her visions the brutalities done to Christ in Mel Gibson's film may pale in comparison to how sin offends God. However, the image of Christ on the cover gives us hope of His infinite divine mercy and introduces us to the "Kingdom of Heaven." What sets Dr. Abear's book apart from other writers is his scientific explanation about the death of the human blood in relationship to Christ's own divinity as He dies on the cross. The entire book tries to supplement what movies about Christ cannot fully articulate in words. Thus, after perhaps reading this scholarly dissertation of love and obedience, of sin and forgiveness, of Pope John Paul II's joy and suffering one may hopefully arrive to a better understanding and appreciation about The Passion of Christ. Book Review PASSION OF CHRIST, Strengthen Us Reviewed by J.R. Pingol The main message of this book is to make us understand that The Passion of Christ is the autobiography of our own life. The book starts by defining what is genuine love. The freedom of love according to the author is limited within the confine of God's will by which we all are obligated as creatures to obey, His Ten Commandments. Since we often fail to obey God's ten commandments (priests, nuns, lay persons alike) in our journey through life God bestows upon us, the gift of our conscience (which the author constantly makes references to Pope John Paul II's concept). Since conscience is often subjective to the will of man there are failures and successes when tested in a world that has gone increasingly secular. Forgiveness and generosity (chapter 3-4) heal the wounds of our misdeeds so we won't lose hope in our search for perfect happiness. By this the author introduces to us the kingdom of heaven (chapter 5). In this chapter we should not miss his beautiful insight of heaven as based from Christ's teaching nor his practical understanding of Christ's eight beatitudes .in relationship with our daily struggle in life. Having said that Dr. Abear points out the necessity of our knowing the ugliness of sin (chapter 7) so that no matter how we have sunk into the abyss of sins the two rays from the heart of Jesus (see cover) would show to us the abundance of His divine mercy, particularly available by those who would repent before He comes as a Judge. Chapter 12 opines with a new idea about the Passion of Christ which sets Dr. E. Abear's book apart from other writers. He writes about the physiology of human blood, how it separates into "blood and serum" and its scientific implication to the "blood and water" mentioned in the bible. In the absence of this scientific explanation for centuries most theologians had regarded the divinity of Christ as a mystery. No man in history has lived long after the blood in his heart turns into "water and blood." Indeed, the suffering of Christ in terms of our sinfulness is so brutal that it dwarfs the brutalities in Mel Gibson's movie. Mel Gibson is right: Christ dies to redeem 'the sins of humanity,' past, present and future, regardless of religion, color, or creed. Reflecting on the crucified Jesus reveals to us the autobiography of our own life. The 7th canticle of conversion concludes the book: Out of your divine mercy, oh Christ Comes my little faith Which out of my unbelief you deliver me from evil and embrace me for a new start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What are Christians to make of their mission in an pluralistic world?" asks Paul F. Knitter, author of the landmark work in interfaith dialogue No Other Name? As a recognized scholar and participant in interfaith dialogue, Knitter is in a unique position to explore the key concept of what Christian mission must entail in a world that will remain a world of many religious faiths for the foreseeable future. From the first chapter of Jesus and the Other Names, which recounts his own theological and dialogical odyssey, Knitter constructs what he calls a "correlational, globally-responsible theology of religions" as a necessary correction to traditional pluralist and exclusivist approaches. By anticipating and addressing his critics - both conservative and liberal - Knitter makes a powerful argument for a reconstruction of mission faithful to the Christian imperative and dynamically attuned to the plurality of the world. Jesus and the Other Names will give pause to those who believe Christian mission can be carried on as it was in the modern era. Sure to inspire debate as well as dialogue it offers a more humble, but perhaps more "Christic", postmodern approach to mission in the new millennium that has little to do with earthly glory and nothing to do with the sense of cultural superiority that has so often - and often so tragicallyaccompanied modern missionary movements. Theologians, missiologists, Christian historians, can all benefit from its thoughtful and timely message.
