The Forgotten Way of Jesus: What if We Got Him Wrong, but He Had It Right? Mr. Francis Leeman

The Forgotten Way of Jesus is both a map for the person just beginning to look in God's direction and a fresh exploration of Jesus for those who are hungry for a better kind of Christian faith. Drawing from his own insights and those of thinkers like C. S. Lewis and N. T. Wright, author Fran Leeman invites the reader onto a fresh journey across the pages of the Gospels. In The Forgotten Way of Jesus you'll find a critique of the modern versions of Jesus that abound: the Jesus of conservative politics, the personal-happiness Jesus, the fire insurance Jesus, and the Jesus who offers a quick ticket into heaven rather than a new life. Perhaps the most striking thing about The Forgotten Way of Jesus is its insistence that the heart of the Christian journey is not found in merely "accepting Jesus", but in actually awakening to the things about God, the world, and our own hearts to which we have been blind. And for the one who awakens, life and freedom await.
