God loves you and has a wonderful difficult plan for your life. The
contemporary church loves to paint Jesus as gentle, meek . . .
nice. But in this striking book, Mark Galli introduces us to a
different sort of savior--one who often makes other people feel
decidedly uncomfortable. Focusing on Jesus as he is portrayed in
Mark's Gospel, Galli unveils the power of Christ in his
militancy--an aspect frequently ignored in many churches today.
Through biblical episodes, stories of saints--classic and
contemporary--personal snapshots, and discussion questions, Galli
shows that Christ's deep love for his people is richer and more
difficult than we imagine. But it is in this persistent, fearsome,
and untamed love that we can find true joy. "A well-written,
thoroughly researched look at Jesus. Galli's writing is clear and
concise, his logic smooth, and his conclusion
inescapable."--Publishers Weekly "Mark writes of a Jesus that is
unleashed, untamed, undomesticated, and unpredictable. I want to
know this Jesus, though he scares me a little."--John Ortberg,
teaching pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church "In this
wonderfully provocative book, Galli recovers a more multifaceted
portrait of Jesus, insisting that Jesus's plan for our lives is
demanding and difficult--and in that difficulty we find real
love."--Lauren F. Winner, author, Girl Meets God and Real Sex
"Finally, a Jesus who was potent enough to cause commotion and even
(temporary) chaos."--Scot McKnight, author, The Jesus Creed and
Embracing Grace "Can he say that? Galli's vigorous presentation of
the 'mean and wild' aspects of Jesus will help clear our vision to
behold a Lord who is anything but tame."--Frederica Mathewes-Green,
author, The Illumined Heart Mark Galli is the senior managing
editor of Christianity Today. A former Presbyterian minister, he is
the author or coauthor of several books, including 131 Christians
Everyone Should Know and Beyond Smells and Bells.
