The Life of Jesus Like You've Never Imagined Jesus asked His
disciples, "Who do you say I am?" It's a question that still needs
an answer today. With deft, insightful, and humorous strokes,
award-winning biographer Jared Brock weaves archaeology,
philosophy, history, and theology to create a portrait of Jesus
we've never seen before. This is a groundbreaking biography about
the historical Jesus we don't usually think about: The child
refugee. The "carpenter" who most likely worked with stone. The
adult who walked at least 21,525 miles in His lifetime and yet
never tasted tomatoes or potatoes. The itinerant rabbi whose real
name wasn't Jesus. The political revolutionary whose brutal murder
was secretly masterminded by a power-hungry mafia family. More than
a fascinating biography, A God Named Josh seeks to illuminate Jesus
of Nazareth from new perspectives, grounded in history, that will
surprise Christians and atheists alike. "The same wonderful story,
the same incredible Savior, the same good news... but written with
such clarity that everything you thought you knew about Jesus will
seem new and exciting."--STEVE BROWN, founder of Key Life and
author of Laughter and Lament "Prepare yourself: Jesus is about to
become thrillingly, subversively, dangerously, gloriously
interesting again."--MARK BUCHANAN, author of God Walk: Moving at
the Speed of Your Soul
31 Days of Fun, Satire, and Deeper Meaning of the Godly Beard!Is
there a connection between hairiness and holiness? Some would say a
hearty "Yes!" In fact, the world is in the middle of a beard mania.
Events like Movember and Decembeard are becoming global movements
and manly sites are appearing all over the internet. Is this just
another fad? And what does it say that so many of the most famous
Christian communicators have or did have a beard?Throughout
history, Christian men have gloried in male pattern magnificence.
Saint Benedict of Nursia wore a superb double forker. The
benevolently-bushed Euthymius wouldn't allow clean-shaven monks to
enter his Judean Desert monastery. St. Francis of Assisi had a
beard, and now there's a Pope named after him. He's clean-shaven,
but we're praying for him.Of all the great Christian men who wore
beards, none stands so highly as the headless martyr Sir Thomas
More. On the day of his beheading, the tufted knight supposedly
positioned his beard away from his soon-to-be-severed neck, saying:
"My beard has not been guilty of treason, and it would be an
injustice to punish it."But of course, Bearded Gospel Men is about
far more than beards - it's about manliness and godliness. Through
this 31-day devotional, men are inspired to rise to a higher
calling. The humor and facial hair is the perfect means to have a
broader conversation about living a faithful life.So, let's study
some of these famous Bearded Gospel Men!
