Jesus Didn't Have Blue Eyes: Reclaiming Our Jewish Messiah 3 reviews
Derek Leman
Mt Olive Press, 2004
Fantastic - Restores teaching of Yeshua (Jesus) as a Jew!
This book does what few books can do, it challenges us to redefine our understandings of core doctrines and beliefs in Scripture.
Yeshua (Jesus) was fully a Torah observant Jew, and contrary to today's teachings by many, taught His talmidim (disciples) to observer the Torah. He was born a fully Jew, and He died fully a Jew.
A worthwhile book that will change the way you see Yeshua ...

Jesus Against Christianity: Reclaiming the Missing Jesus 10 reviews
Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer
Trinity Press International, 2001
Precis of Selected Passages
The author (N-P) fervently believes that ancient and modern social ills are most often the result of forceful subjugation of large numbers of the peoples of the world by an exploitive elite and that, again most often, this has been done in the guise of religion as, supposedly, the will of God. The author wants to find out why Jesus is missing from Christian worship. For example, why is it that ...

Angelus Press

Review
A great book, and a timely read as we've lost the foundational principles of masculinity in a post-christian culture. Very insightful and motivating. Outlines well the evils of capitalism too.

Reclaiming Patterns of Pastoral Ministry: Jesus and Paul (Concordia scholarship today)1 review
Jonathan F. Grothe
Concordia Pub House, 1988
Uncovers Biblical patterns for Servants of the Word
Grothe has presented excellent survey of Gospels and St. Paul's writings to provide balanced view of what the office of the public ministry is about. When in our time of marketing and leadership emphasis for pastors, how refreshing that the author begins with showing that most churches would not call St. Paul as their pastor, he didn't fit the model job description they would use in pastoral ...

Digging in Cumorah: Reclaiming Book of Mormon Narrative2 reviews
Mark D. Thomas
Signature Books, 2000
Breaks new ground
I enjoyed this book because it breaks new ground in terms of Book of Mormon scholarship. Most scholarly works pertaining to the Book of Mormon fall into two categories (1)those which support its historicity as an ancient document, versus (2)those which relegate it to religious fiction. This work focuses on the meaning of Book of Mormon passages by intrepeting the rhetorical forms and ...

Lillian Barger's extensive study, deep and broad thinking, personal wrestling and Christ-centered wisdom combine to make Chasing Sophia an invaluable read for folks from many walks of life--women and men, churched and unchurched, Christian and "non". Not only am I recommending it to the women I work with in my psychotherapy practice, I'm purchasing copies for many of my colleagues and friends. ...

Dallas Willard
HarperOne, 2006
An easy to understand anthology
This book is a collection of Dallas Willard's articles, lectures, and essays regarding the main idea expressed in his book THE DIVINE CONSPIRACY - that as Christians we should focus on being "disciples" or "apprentices" of Jesus, allowing God's grace to develop Christ's nature in our lives and internally transform us to bear fruits of holiness in response to our salvation. We do this by saying ...

Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church: Reclaiming the Spirit of Jesus10 reviews
Geoffrey Robinson
Liturgical Press, 2008
An outstanding call for true Catholic Church reform, a tour de force
This is a really excellent book, coming directly to grips not only with the Roman Catholic Church's clerical abuse problems, but with history's iron grip on both governance and doctrine and the Church's inability to get beyond that grip -- due to structure, resistance to paradigm shifts, and a failure of will. Clerical sexual abuse is shown as a prime example of the Church's dysfunctional ...
