Synopsis

Our pluralistic society accepts all... all except Jesus. Joseph Stowell brings to light our need to be undaunted advocates for Jesus in a world that has no tolerance for Him or His followers. How do you reach those who do not have a churched background, or are openly hostile to the good news of Jesus Christ? Would you miss church to go fishing with your colleague at work? What should or would you do when golfing with three non-believing friends, and they want to play for 'prize money'? Joseph Stowell's style is biblical and insightful, but always within reach of today's reader.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

It's time to draw the line...and show the world that Jesus is the way!

My good friend Joe Stowell points out that after 9/11, God was--at least temporarily--back. But, in the mushy ecumenism that followed the attacks, Jesus was not welcome. Rather than indulge in hand-wringing, Stowell analyzes the problem and goes on to provide wise, practical principles for making Jesus known in our challenging day and in our jaded culture. --CHUCK COLSON, founder Prison Ministries, author, speaker

In The Trouble with Jesus, Joe Stowell exposes the emptiness of the post 9/11 American spirituality as paganism dressed up in the clothes of patriotic unity. The book is a "must-read" if you call yourself a Christian. As your eyes read the words, the ears of your heart will hear the clear trumpet call of the King as He rallies His troops, challenging each of us to lift high the banner of His Name! --ANNE GRAHAM LOTZ, AnGeL Ministries

In this passionate, persuasive, and practical book, Joe Stowell offers a powerful antidote to the all-religions-are-equal attitude that's sweeping America. The answer is Jesus. Read this inspiring book and learn fresh ways to bring others to Him. -LEE STROBEL Author, The Case For Christ and The Case for Faith

Everything about this book is a crucial and timely people. This is a "must read" book for every believer, especially spiritual leaders. Thought-provoking and highly motivational to me personally. --HENRY T. BLACKABY, Home Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention
