The problem is rarely what Jesus said.
The problem is often what
we've been told Jesus meant.
Many of us received a version of faith shaped by anxiety, certainty or exclusion. This book creates room to read Jesus again with ears tuned to honesty, curiosity and grace.
ABOUT THE BOOK
For readers carrying faith and doubt.
Jesus Said What? explores the tension between the faith many people inherited and the Jesus they encounter in the Gospels.
With warmth, humor and pastoral insight, DeDe and Jeff help readers separate Jesus from the fear, shame and religious noise that have sometimes obscured him.
At its heart, the book asks whether scripture may be more compassionate, trustworthy and challenging than the version many of us were handed.
You love Jesus, but some of what you were taught no longer fits.
