Publisher description

What would Jesus say? Probably not what you think. In what could be the most powerful and influential book on Christianity ever written, "Wrestling with Jesus" by DK Maylor is changing Christian lives and perspectives everywhere. Written in a style that is both simple and humorous, yet irresistibly compelling, "Wrestling" has Jesus returning to earth for a shockingly frank interview with a journalist from the Bible Belt. What transpires during this unexpected encounter in the forest will no doubt make the controversy of "The Da Vinci Code" seem tame by comparison. Maylor and Jesus spend an entire day by a river in the woods discussing, in a most hilarious fashion, everything from the basic tenets of Christianity to a brief but startling dialogue on the outrageously bloody and ungodly history of the papacy. Jesus goes into fascinating detail on Christianity's deep connection with far-older religions and examines practically every major facet of the faith, ripping to shreds many of the ridiculous claims about the nature of God and reality. Maylor and Jesus leave almost nothing unexamined, covering questions such as: Why does the Bible God always require the spilling of innocent blood before He can allow Himself to forgive? How can God be loving if He tortures non-believers forever in a place called "hell"? Why did God create hell long before Jesus' birth? Did He have doubts that Jesus' mission would succeed? Why didn't God place everyone in heaven the moment He created them? Why send them to earth first, thus risking their damnation? What is the meaning of the word "Christian"? (Most Christians don't know!) Does the Old Testament really predict the birth of a world-saving godman? Does it truly foretell of any "resurrection"? Was Jesus really born of a virgin? Why didn't he (and most of the New Testament writers) ever mention it? You'll also discover... Why, if the New Testament is accurate, only a tiny fraction of people will be "saved" Why New Testament authors can't agree on the basics of Jesus' lineage, of what constitutes "salvation, " or even on how Jesus died How early Christian writers shamelessly twisted and altered Jewish scriptures to suit their own evangelical purposes (wait 'til you discover the truth about the "virgin" birth!) What Jesus meant when he stated, "The kingdom of God is within you." The meaning of spiritual "enlightenment" and how Jesus' teachings relate to it directly How the average Christian knows almost nothing about the Bible's compilation and evolution (and why the church is glad they don't!) These are just a few of the scores and scores of intriguing and crucial points discussed in the pages of "Wrestling with Jesus" -- easily the single most important work on Christianity of the modern era! Though technically fiction, the book incorporates loads of riveting, academically factual and verifiable information that will forever alter for the better the average Christian's worldview. One reviewer states: "... this book should be at the TOP of every Christian's reading list" and "could really serve to change lives." But the book is not just for Christians. People of all beliefs will each find nuggets of wisdom, revelation and metaphysical inspiration within the pages of "Wrestling with Jesus." A truly essential read for every serious Christian, "Wrestling with Jesus" was recently dubbed by a southern contemplative monk as "an instant worldwide classic." Says another reader: "Until you've read it, you don't know Jack about Jesus!" This book should be required reading for Christians across the globe. To quote a minister from the American south, "To practice Christianity without having this critical information would be like sailing without knowing the basics of marine navigation. If you're a Christian, or just merely interested in the Christian religion, this book is absolutely essential. Until you've read it, you simply don't understand the very foundation of the faith
