{"product_id":"the-scapegoat-rick-smith-9798317427795","title":"The Scapegoat","description":"What exactly do people mean when they say \"Jesus saves,\" all gleefully and everything. It sounds like a nice bumper sticker, or a great catch phrase. But seriously-how's that supposed to work? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Scapegoat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is a book not only for believers, but also for people who can't seem to get with Jesus or the Bible. Maybe it's because of how it's all been presented to them. Or maybe they find it hard to believe in things they don't understand. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Scapegoat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e breaks it all down with details from the Bible most people have never heard. The author lays out the theory of Jesus of Nazareth-not the \u003ci\u003estory\u003c\/i\u003e but the \u003ci\u003etheory\u003c\/i\u003e-in a modern, no-nonsense voice sprinkled with wry humor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Because the Bible says what it says and it means what it means-whether you like it or not. Ignoring what it says or assuming it's all made up (or whatever) has absolutely no impact on whether it's true. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy purpose is to reveal, in a straightforward way, the gist of what the Bible says so you can take it to the bank . . . And that's not some kind of hocus pocus-we're going to open up the hood and walk through how it works mechanically.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE SCAPEGOAT\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eby Rick Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798317427795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Rick Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419769782527,"sku":"9798317427795","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e88d9e7-2366-48bc-bfc7-8a20ea93720c.jpg?v=1761513737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-scapegoat-rick-smith-9798317427795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
