The award-winning author ofGratefulgoes beyond the culture wars to offer a refreshing take on the comprehensive, multi-faceted nature of Jesus, keepinghis teachings relevant and alive in our daily lives.
How can you still be a Christian?
This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches, they cannot leave their faith behind.
InFreeing Jesus, Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through lifes challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence.
Freeing Jesusis an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
