Jesus Plus Nothing

MY PERSONAL STORY This is my story of being addicted to religion, particularly Christianity. My addiction was bolstered by my strict, Christian upbringing, my Christian College and four-year graduate seminary experiences, the founding of one of the early mega-Churches, publishing ten best-sellers, knowing the lingo of Christianese and a full store-house of Biblical knowledge from the Greek and Hebrew. THEN, Jesus apprehended my heart in a dramatic way and for the first time I became serious about answering his revolutionary call: FOLLOW ME! A STORY OF RECONCILIATION With the gap widening between Christianity and the other religious cultures of the world Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and atheist/agnostics JESUS PLUS NOTHING offers the only solution to this increasing alienation and illustrates how reconciliation has worked and is working. This is not about inter-faith or multi-faith solutions. It s not another peace plan for reconciliation! A STORY FOR CHURCH PLANTERS No one in the early movement of Jesus planted churches .... There s a better and more effective strategy for making disciples of Jesus around the world! A STORY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH Why do we continually read the sickening headlines of Christians and the Christian Church being persecuted churches burned out, leaders threatened and tortured, and angry mobs within their communities filled with hate? Most of the persecution of the Christian Church around the world can be avoided today without diluting the message of Jesus! A STORY FOR THE TURNED OFF Why are so many youth moving away from the tenets of Christianity and not returning? Why are so many Church members finding it more comfortable to be spectators and not participators?, ISBN13: 9780983639060 ISBN10: 098363906X Material Type: hardcover
