some endorsements for reJesus

The publishers are on track for the early December release of reJesus. Here are some of the endorsements from various authors and thinkers.

Frost and Hirsch have done it again! In their characteristic way (heart-pounding in a spiritual sense) they invite us to a journey with God. Don’t miss this trip!
—Reggie McNeal, author, Missional Renaissance

For anyone in the missional conversation in even the slightest way, this book addresses what is by far the most important thing about it theologically and practically.
—Dan Kimball, author, They Like Jesus But Not The Church

Frost and Hirsch tear away false characterizations about Jesus and reveal a wild and radical revolutionary . . . anything but boring. This book is a huge leap in the right direction.
—Neil Cole, author, Organic Leadership

ReJesus will rock your world—and cause you to reJesus your life, reJesus your church, and reJesus your Bible. Expect “reJesus” to become a mantra and a mobilization in the revitalization of Christianity in the 21st century.
— Leonard Sweet, author, The Gospel according to Starbucks

ReJesus invites us to pare back layers of tradition, recognize distortion and misrepresentation, read the Gospels afresh and learn to imitate and follow the wild and radical Jesus. An engaging and challenging example of applied Christology.
—Stuart Murray, author, Post-Christendom

Hirsch and Frost have done it again. Reading reJesus provoked, frustrated, and ultimately convicted me of my need to live more deeply in the way of Jesus. If you are looking for another book on simply bolstering church as-we-know-it, this is not for you. If you and your church want to be challenged to walk in the Way of Jesus, this book delivers.
—Ed Stetzer, author and blogger (www.edstetzer.com)

Frost and Hirsch challenge us to reinstate Jesus as the central focus of our spiritual lives–both as individual disciples and as communities of his people. The Jesus they present is not the domesticated Jesus that we learned about in Sunday School, but the “loving, wildly passionate, dangerous, radically merciful and always surprising” Jesus portrayed in the Gospels. An encounter with this Jesus transforms us from the inside out and radically changes our approach to mission.
—Felicity Dale, author, An Army of Ordinary People

Frost and Hirsch excavate the ruins of Western Christianity, digging through the accumulation of 2000 years of dust in order to return the church to the sure foundation of Jesus Christ. This book is a challenging and helpful addition to the task of re-centering, re-founding, or, in their words, “re-Jesusing” Christianity. The Jesus-shaped church will look quite different from many of the modern variety, and Frost and Hirsch skillfully articulate both the need for, and the means to, aligning the way of Jesus with the religion that bears his name.
—Mike Erre, Teaching Pastor at Rock Harbor Church in Costa Mesa, Ca, and author of The Jesus of Suburbia

I can´t wait to read Re-Jesus!

Thanks Allan and Michael for challenge us to walk in the Way of Jesus (the real and not domesticated one!)

Keep in touch…

The Abbess sends her most sincere congratulations, Alan (& Michael, too), and hopes that she will be ready to read it come Christmas vacation!
Kevin on September 24th, 2008 12:22 pm

Very exciting! I’m looking forward to being challenged again…

Alan, a quick question for you - If I were to introduce someone with a completely blank slate in terms of Missional thinking with your books, as well as Mike’s, do you think it would be best for them to start with reJesus as a foundation?
alan hirsch on September 24th, 2008 12:35 pm

Kevin, in many ways reJesus will be the most foundational book, but it will be a probing look at Christology in light of the missional cause. If the person already has some theological training, it will be good. Other than that, the other books will provide a broader framework.

Hey Alan, what’s the latest projection for TFW Handbook? I’ve pre-ordered both.
Celtic Son on September 24th, 2008 3:39 pm

Hi.
I found your Web Site by Google
And I wish you the best you can get,
the peace of God through Jesus Christ.

Welcome to visit my Site.

Why does the revival tarry? It is because God’s
people tarry to obey the powerful command of
the Lord in Rev. 18:4 . This is the most powerful
revival message of the Lord to his people in our time.

As in the days of Lot, it is now. Lot was not interested
to leave Sodom. God sent two angels to rescue him,
and they must persuade him to leave Sodom. When
he yet lingered, one of the angels said to him:
“Flee for your life sake …”
Just like as Lot, God’s people are not interested to
leave the great Babylon, but finally they must flee
for their life from there.

God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
because their preachers have rejected knowledge.
Hosea 4:6-11 . Instead to preaching the truth of the
Assembly of God, they have preached lies about the
Assembly of God. The Pentecostalists have abused
the expression “Assembly of God” and used it as a
name of their church.

The coming revival, a nameless revival
