A Book You Can't Ignore!
























The Jesus You Can't Ignore

What You Must Learn from the Bold Confrontations of Christ

Jacketed Hardcover

Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth.

Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren't the complete picture. Maybe because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because it's inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, His passionate mission to make the Gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. A mission that required he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip.

In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can't Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus' ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus' commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

Mohler: Book Recommendation on the Family

Click HERE to read Mohler's short book review of Andreas Kostenberger's collaborative work on the Biblical family. Kostenberger is an established theologian in his own write. You can learn more about him by clicking HERE. I plan on ordering the book soon because Kostenberger addresses issues that simply cannot be ignored by Christians. Regardless of whether the writers are correct on every issue makes no difference. At a minimum, reading a book like this makes one think, and can also fuel healthy conversation in the church!
