Download or read book Who Stole Jesus written by Paul D Little and published by Romans Road Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus has been quite literally been stolen. Much like the plastic baby Jesus figurines that pranksters frequently steal from outdoor Nativity sets at Christmastime, He's been taken from His rightful position and is being used by various groups to support their own agendas, versus His. He's being held captive by those who have less than pure motives in wanting to use His persona to justify their own personal beliefs, lifestyle choices, and worldviews. Jesus is missing in modern day America and we need to find Him so that He can be presented to the world as He truly is, not how infinite groups with private agendas would like for Him to be. Who is Jesus? Is He truly the "tolerant" savior championed by the left? Or, is He the conservative savior championed by the right? He can't possibly stand with all the disparate sides on all issues, so where does He really stand on important and divisive social issues? Is He a socialist? Is He a liberal? Is He a conservative? Does he even care about politics at all? If you ask twenty different people about Jesus today, you'll likely get twenty different Jesus's presented to you as the "real" Jesus. Christians just can't seem to agree on what He stands for. Even Buddhists, Muslims, and atheists are writing books that offer their own takes on who Jesus is. So who, or what, can you believe about the most talked about, written about, and studied man in the history of the world? Only by answering the question of who stole Jesus and discovering who Jesus wasn't, and still isn't, can we come to a clear understanding of who Jesus was, and still is. Once the truth is uncovered, we'll see that Jesus is still sitting where He's always been, on the right hand of the Throne of God; and we'll see that the stolen Jesus was just an imposter all along. Who Stole Jesus? will answer all of these questions and will lead us to the discovery of the real Jesus, who is the same as He always has been: yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Download or read book Stolen Jesus written by Jami Amerine and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Stolen Jesus does not shy away from the hurts inflicted by messed-up religion, yet this is the funniest Christian book I have read. Thank God for honest authors like Jami Amerine who are brave enough to write about life as it is.” Paul Ellis, author of Stuff Jesus Never Said and Letters from Jesus Candid, vulnerable, and raw, popular blogger Jami Amerine delivers a hilarious memoir of her search for an authentic relationship with Jesus in a sea of impersonators. Raised in the Mormon church, Jami Amerine was excommunicated for apostasy before she was even old enough to be baptized. This experience left her curious about all things religious and set her on a path that would introduce her to many apparitions of Jesus over the years. It wasn’t until Jami stole a portrait of Jesus from a local YMCA storage closet and gave Him a home on her mantel that she began to ponder why the bad stuff of religion tends to stick the hardest. In Stolen Jesus Jami sets out to strip all her preconceived notions of Jesus to discover His genuine character. In doing so she discovers the real Jesus when she stops trying to fit Him in a box and allows Him to be her all-in-all. Jami’s frank, tell-it-like-it-is writing style is full of the kinds of self-deprecating anecdotes that will have you laughing and crying all at the same time.
