Download or read book Selling Jesus written by Douglas D. Webster and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's one thing to market cars and deodorant and hamburgers. It's another thing, says Doug Webster, to market Jesus and the gospel. Standing up to a spate of books and seminars that urge churches to model their mission on Madison Avenue methods, Webster sounds an urgently needed wake-up alarm. Selling Jesus is a hard-hitting book that shows how Jesus is more than a product to be hawked, how seekers are more than a matter of meeting "felt needs." But Selling Jesus doesn't merely challenge. It moves beyond penetrating criticism to the next step, suggesting faithful and powerful alternatives to marketing the church. Selling Jesus is a necessary book for those who are beginning to wonder if evangelism and missions really aren't synonymous with product promotion.

Download or read book Christotainment written by Shirley R. Steinberg and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two thousand years Christian expansion and proselytizing was couched in terms of ''defending the faith.'' Until recently in the United States, much of that defense came in the form of reactions against the ''liberal'' influences channeled through big-corporate media such as popular music, Hollywood movies, and network and cable television. But the election of Ronald Reagan as a Hollywood President introduced Christian America to the tools of advertising and multimedia appeals to children and youth to win new believers to God's armies. Christotainment examines how Christian fundamentalism has realigned its armies to combat threats against it by employing the forces it once considered its chief enemies: the entertainment media, including movies, television, music, cartoons, theme parks, video games, and books. Invited contributors discuss the critical theoretical frameworks of top-selling devices within Christian pop culture and the appeal to masses of American souls through the blessed marriage of corporatism and the quest for pleasure.

Download or read book Sell Like Jesus written by Deb Brown Maher and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective communication is perhaps the most fundamental skill shared in common by successful salespeople. Yet, far too often, new salespeople are released into the field with little to no training, and are not prepared to withstand the tremendous pressures they will face to compromise in their pursuit of the elusive sale. Salespeople resent buyers who take advantage of them, while buyers become alienated and walk away from salespeople who stubbornly and defensively stand their ground. A potentially profitable exchange for both degenerates into a contest of wills that ends poorly for both sides. Jesus Christ, the master communicator, shows us a better way. His conversations with friends and foes alike illustrate how to communicate effectively without compromise: showing respect, building trust, and standing one's ground in a way that nurtures relationships rather than breeding resentment and division. In this inspiring and informative book, Deb Brown Maher unpacks seven characteristics of Jesus' method of interacting with people and shows how to apply them to totally transform the way people approach a sale, pursuing sales conversations with honesty and integrity, and demonstrating equal concern for the needs of potential buyers. Discover the importance of character, connection, clarity, comprehension, certainty, choice and commitment--and learn to sell like Jesus!

Download or read book Jesus of Nazareth written by Paul Verhoeven and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-11-29 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the work of biblical scholars—Rudolph Bultmann, Raymond Brown, Jane Schaberg, and Robert Funk, among others—filmmaker Paul Verhoeven disrobes the mythical Jesus to reveal a man who has much in common with other great political leaders throughout history—human beings who believed that change was coming in their lifetimes. Gone is the Jesus of the miracles, gone the son of God, gone the weaver of arcane parables whose meanings are obscure. In their place Verhoeven gives us his vision of Jesus as a complete man, someone who was changed by events, the leader of a political movement, and, perhaps most importantly, someone who, in his speeches and sayings, introduced a new ethic in which the embrace of human contradictions transcends the mechanics of value and worth that had defined the material world before Jesus. "The Romans saw [Jesus] as an insurrectionist, what today is often called a terrorist. It is very likely there were ‘wanted’ posters of him on the gates of Jerusalem. He was dangerous because he was proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven, but this wasn’t the Kingdom of Heaven as we think of it now, some spectral thing in the future, up in the sky. For Jesus, the Kingdom of Heaven was a very tangible thing. Something that was already present on Earth, in the same way that Che Guevara proclaimed Marxism as the advent of world change. If you were totalitarian rulers, running an occupation like the Romans, this was troubling talk, and that was why Jesus was killed." —Paul Verhoeven, from profile by Mark Jacobson in New York Magazine
