The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to the Scandal of Jesus by Mark Clark

Title: The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to the Scandal of Jesus Author: Mark Clark Narrator: Mark Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 4, 2021 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: Jesus has never been more popular. Some love him, applauding him as a good teacher, a political revolutionary, or a prophetic voice speaking out against the rich and powerful. Others find him bigoted, old-fashioned, and narrow minded, even as they are forced to admit that his words and teachings are utterly unique. His presence infuses our political discussions and our dinner table debates, making him impossible to ignore. Yet sadly, in many churches today, the Jesus we meet is nothing more than a kindly man with children on his lap and a smile on his face. He is presented as a good person, a positive influence--a mixture of Mr. Rogers and Tony Robbins. The Jesus of American Christianity is meek, gentle, safe, and fun, always ready to be your best friend. When we dig more deeply into the Bible, we discover a very different picture. Wherever Jesus went in his life, from the day he was born until the day he died, scandal and controversy followed him. Be warned. If you investigate Jesus beyond the superficial glance most give him today you will be challenged and confronted. Jesus creates in each person who encounters him a crisis of faith, forcing us to a point of decision. In The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures, author and pastor Mark Clark looks beyond the superficial understandings of Jesus to examine his hard-hitting claims and teachings, including: - The reliable evidence that Jesus was a real, historical figure - The oft-unexamined cost of following Jesus - His claim to be God, the Creator of all, worthy of worship - His teachings and stories, which have always offended religious people - His miracles and actions, what they meant in the ancient world--and today - The claims of Jesus to be the only, exclusive path to God The Problem of Jesus: Audio Lectures confronts you with the real Jesus of history, asking you to wrestle with the teachings, claims, and actions of the man who has forever altered the course of human history. Every person must make their own decision about Jesus, choosing how they will live in light of the answers they discover about this amazing man.

His Mighty Strength: Walk Daily in the Same Power that Raised Jesus from the Dead by Randy Frazee

Title: His Mighty Strength: Walk Daily in the Same Power that Raised Jesus from the Dead Author: Randy Frazee Narrator: Mark Smeby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: With warmth and biblical insight, Frazee shows us how to - rely on the power of the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did; - respond to God’s voice in decisions big and small; - raise our expectations for how God’s power can work through us; and - break free of addictions, habits, and destructive thoughts that hold us back. The Bible promises us more than inspiration. More than influence. The Bible promises us access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. So what keeps us from drawing on that incredible resurrection power in our daily lives? In His Mighty Strength, popular pastor and author Randy Frazee explores Jesus’ time on earth to uncover the amazing source of his strength. Jesus continually sought direction from the Father and found the power to live the Father’s will through the Holy Spirit. He said yes to God every day of his earthly life—and we can too. His Mighty Strength reminds us that Jesus’ resurrection power is not wishful thinking or a poetic metaphor. It’s a real source of strength that we have access to right now. And when we embrace God’s offering, our lives will never be the same. “This is not a watered-down self-help book—this is a powerful Gospel-centered guide to walking in the fullness of Christ. I challenge you to read this amazing book and accept the glorious gift of strength from Christ that enables us to live the abundant life God has promised us!” —Francesca Battistelli, Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter

Title: The Problem of Jesus: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to the Scandal of Jesus Author: Mark Clark Narrator: Mark Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 53 minutes Release date: February 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Genres: Christianity Publisher's Summary: The modern world portrays Jesus in many ways for many reasons. Some are well-intentioned but misguided, others are aberrations, still others have some but not all the essential keys. In order to see and understand the real Jesus and what the Gospels say about him, we have to see him in his first-century context—and work out from there. Here is a portrait of Jesus that in some ways will affirm what traditional Christianity has always understood about him...and, in other ways, upend it altogether. Award-winning author Mark Clark delves into the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth: his parables and miracles, his controversial challenge of discipleship and obedience, his seemingly insane claim to be God, and what his death and resurrection (if they did happen) actually mean. Mark is unafraid to tackle questions such as: - What would first-century Jews have immediately recognized about Jesus that modern Christians often miss? - What do the Gospels accomplish, and can we trust them? - Is there a problem with science and Jesus' miracles? - What are the barriers stopping people from following him? - And what is Christianity in light of an accurate portrayal of the object of its faith? The Problem of Jesus engages with ideas from all realms of study: from Malcolm Gladwell and Jordan Peterson to historians, scientists, and philosophers; from N.T. Wright to C.S. Lewis; from Star Wars to Pretty Woman—all unite to form a breathtaking and accurate portrait of Jesus, the man, the message, and the mission, who forever altered the course of human history.  'As a former atheist, I would call this book philosophical dynamite...The Problem of Jesus will take your thinking about Jesus—and your relationship with him—to whole new levels.' —Pastor and author, Ray Johnston.
