THE JESUS I NEVER KNEW by Philip Yancey who serves as editor-at-large for
CHRISTIANITY TODAY magazine. He has written six Gold Medallion Award-
winning books.
What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his
preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the
Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the “new,
rediscovered” Jesus---or even the Jesus we think we know so well? Best-
selling author Philip Yancey says, “The Jesus I got to know in writing this book
is very different from the Jesus I learned about in Sunday school. In some
ways He is more comforting; in some ways more terrifying.”
THE JESUS I NEVER KNEW uncovers a Jesus who is brilliant, creative,
challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying.
This honest book will help you discover a different Jesus from the flannelgraph
Sunday school figure, the sweetly smiling Victorian Savior, and all the cultural
clichés that have tamed Jesus and kept him in comfortable religious boxes.
WHY I LEFT JIHAD by Walid Shoebat, former Muslim and Palestinian terrorist,
has the extraordinary ability to explain Islam and provide vital insights from a
compassionate Christian perspective.
Walid Shoebat was born in Bethlehem of Judea, Israel. As a young man, he
became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and participated
in acts of terror and violence against Israel. He later was imprisoned in the
Russian Compound, Jerusalem’s central prison for incitement and violence
against Israel.
Once released from prison, Walid continued a life of violence and rioting in
Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S., he worked as a
counselor for the Arab Student Organization at a Midwestern college and
continued his anti-Israel activities.
In 1993, Walid studied the Bible in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six
months later, after intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been
taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became
an advocate for his former enemy.
Walid travels extensively, speaking to groups for Christians and Jews, and has
written several online books exposing anti-Semitism and the hatred of Jews in
Islamic, Christian and secular worlds.
Several months ago he was a guest speaker at The Waukesha Expo Center.
