Instead of following the values of Jesus, many Christians are chasing after what our culture prizes: power, money, and political influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eYour Jesus Is Too American\u003c\/i\u003e, Baptist pastor Steve Bezner invites Christians to rediscover what Jesus treasured and incorporate those kingdom values into the church's witness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a pastoral voice, Bezner shares the lessons he has been teaching in his church community for 11 years--humble service rather than worldly success, healing relationships across religious and ethnic divides, repairing harm against marginalized groups, giving generously, and providing a political witness rooted in the local church. Bezner shows that Jesus's vision of discipleship points toward a different way of being in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a welcome perspective for church leaders and congregants alike who are frustrated with the way many churches pursue values that are not in line with Jesus's teachings and are worried about the American church's credibility crisis. It includes a foreword by Beth Moore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Bezner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1587436310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587436314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steve Bezner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898366255359,"sku":"9781587436314","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fb34b53-e180-4790-b411-4505925c87a7.jpg?v=1721376151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/your-jesus-is-too-american-steve-bezner-9781587436314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
