The Jesus I Never Knew

2002

by Philip Yancey

Philip Yancey helps reveal what two thousand years of history covered up. What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels?

How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the new, rediscovered Jesus or even the Jesus we think we know so well?

Philip Yancey offers a new and different perspective on the life of Christ and his work, his teachings, his miracles, his death and resurrection, and ultimately, who he was and why he came. From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as answers; a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and stretch your faith.

The Jesus I Never Knew uncovers a Jesus who is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying. No one who meets Jesus ever stays the same, says Yancey. Jesus has rocked my own preconceptions and has made me ask hard questions about why those of us who bear his name don't do a better job of following him.

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate

2001

by Jerry Bridges

Have Christians become so preoccupied with "major" sins that we have lost sight of our need to deal with more subtle sins? Navigator author Jerry Bridges addresses the "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, including pride and anger. He goes to the heart of the matter, exploring our feelings of shame and grief and opening a new door to God's forgiveness and grace.

Travel down the road of spiritual formation with Jerry and discover your true identity as a loved child of God.

This book tackles a dozen clusters of specific "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in ourselves, such as: Jealousy, Anger, Judgementalism, Selfishness, and Pride. Writing from the trenches of his own battles with sin, Bridges offers a message of hope in the transforming grace of God to overcome our "respectable sins."

Practical, thought-provoking, and relevant at any stage of life, Respectable Sins is a staple of Jerry Bridges’s classic collection.
