He Never Said ...: Discover the Real Message of Jesus - Softcover

9780340756973: He Never Said ...: Discover the Real Message of Jesus

Synopsis

'God helps those who help themselves.' 'The family that prays together stays together.' 'You can't take it with you when you die.' 'And now for a time of worship.'



These popular sayings are more than mere proverbs - they've become modern-day creeds for us to live by, in society and even in the Church. But in his groundbreaking new book, Steve Chalke asks if they're the kinds of statements that would ever have crossed the lips of Jesus.



Based on his fascinating new series in Christianity magazine, this book combines social analysis, celebrity analogies and present-day stories with Biblical study to debunk 25 common modern myths and philosophies.
