The Unvarnished Jesus is a forty-six day Lenten journey taking the reader from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday on a quest to encounter Jesus in a new and startling way. These forty-six daily meditations on the life and ministry of Jesus drawn from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are a spiritual solvent to help remove the layers of lacquer comprised of political and cultural assumptions that prevent us from seeing just how challenging and compelling Jesus of Nazareth really is. The Unvarnished Jesus is a forty-six day project to restore the incomparable image of Christ.
How to Find God in Under Five Hours
Jill Roberts, a retired trial lawyer, goes from weighing evidence in the courtroom to weighing evidence regarding Christianity. She has condensed decades of Bible study into a five-hour read through which you will find God, along with the answers to the only questions that will matter one hundred years from now. After giving the backstory of why Jesus came to Earth in the first place, she makes an airtight case for why this should matter to all of us. If you have ever pondered the meaning of this life or that of the life to come, in this book you will find God, as well as the signposts that will guide you through your journey here and into an indescribably interesting and wondrous eternity. *** “How to Find God in Under Five Hours is a highly-readable journey of the spirit, a seeker’s field guide to understanding Christianity. In these hectic and uncertain times – when we all seem too busy to even read – Jill Roberts has given us a clear and concise road map to solving God’s mysteries.” —John Fusco, Screenwriter of The Shack, Thunderheart and The Highwaymen “A clear and compelling retelling of how God has revealed Himself to any of us who want to find Him. A journey worth taking.” —Dr. Craig Loibner, who served as Pastor of Fellowship North Church for 30+ years. “This book is a tour de force in its brilliant synthesis of the Bible and Jesus. A must-read for any Christ-follower or anyone searching for answers to life’s deepest questions.” —Kim Tapfer, co-author of I Am (Transformed in Him) “Jill takes us on a simple but profound journey through the story of God. With every twist and turn, she draws attention to His never-ending grace and mercy. I was reminded afresh of the unlimited forgiveness and love of a God who refuses to give up on his creation. In this small book, you will discover a big God who is always pursuing you.” —Ash Meaney, West L.A. Campus Pastor, Vintage Church L.A.

Laurie M. Johnson argues that America’s culture wars may seem to have erupted in the past couple of decades, but they go back centuries. For those who think that Christian nationalism (or right-wing populism) is the problem to be solved, that some people simply need to understand Christianity or politics better and become reasonable, read on. Christian nationalism and other ideological extremes are symptoms of major economic, technological, spiritual, and psychological shifts that have left too many people uprooted, disenchanted, and precarious. There are no easy answers, but Johnson tries to show a path out that enlists not only individuals, but also church and state. Without leadership and structure provided at the levels of the church and state, Christians, and those impacted by them, will remain part of the problem and not the solution. Johnson says to Christians: change is not talk, it’s action, and Christian action can only happen with leadership that creates a context where we can work together, rather than wasting our time in culture wars.
