review 1: Do you know who Jesus was? I mean do you REALLY know?The sub-title of this book really sums it up greater than I ever could: What You Must Learn From the Bold Confontations of Christ. I can't tell you how many things I have somehow "passed over" in Scripture over and over again. They range from things that are subtle to those that stare you in the face. For instance, many view Jesus as a timid yet truthful pacifist. This couldn't be further from the truth. Really, when you boil down to it, that is the overall theme of this entire book. Jesus was no namsy pansy pacifist. He was a straight forward, in-your-face kind of teacher. He was bold! MacArthur walks you through many of the confrontations between Jesus and those who opposed him while shedding light on what was happenin... moreg. MacArthur paints such a strong mental image, it is as if you are there watching it as it is happening. Learn about how Jesus was actually the one who "started" the war between he and the Pharisees. Learn about the dangers of legalism. Learn about the unpardonable sin. More importantly, learn about the man our Lord and Savior really was in a book that is possibly the most powerful "biography" of Jesus ever to be written.
review 2: The Jesus You Can’t Ignore written by John MacArthur is a spiritual journey into the often overlooked parts of Christ’s ministry. Modern Christianity has turned a little soft as time goes by. Society teaches tolerance of all things, all peoples and often time all actions. This book delves deep into the realistic approaches of Jesus and his approach to religious sinners. We all know that Jesus helped sinners, treated them with love and respect and did not shame them. He really wanted to help and after all, that’s what it’s all about!However, when it comes to false preaching and attempts to reach political or financial gain by false teachings, Christ had a much different approach. There is no love or respect there because it was and is unacceptable to him. This was a very difficult book for me to read. I believe it is a much more deep book than I generally chose for myself for leisurely reading but definitely makes you think. Sometimes we learn much more through difficulties right! Our culture does not accept intolerance but when you look at what is happening to our society, our families and our government, perhaps it is time to express that we will not tolerate certain things.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze book review bloggers program.
