Dr. Campolo Hits Another Homerun

This little 80 page book will challenge and reinforce your faith at the same time. How do we apply the simplest principles of Jesus' teaching to our family, our politics, and our world-view? Should we try to apply "turn the other cheek" to the war on terror? Does the true strength of Christianity come from love or power? With beautiful examples throughout history of how love trumps power (eventually), Tony Campolo once again provides profound insights on how faith should shape and change our lives.

challenging, as always

Like every book Tony Campolo writes, this one will challenge you... and change you. "Which Jesus?" is an especially appropriate read these days, urging us to choose between the way of love and the way of power, and the Jesus which represents each. I used to hate Campolo because every thing he said angered me. When I grew up a little, I realized that just reading/listening to those who were telling me what I already believed was a very foolish way to live. If you want to be challenged, read this short book. Well worth the time and effort. And read the rest of what Campolo has written as well... you may get angry now and again, but you won't be sorry.

Fantastic Book!

Every Christian should read this book instead of listening to the 628 right wing radio talk show personalities that make up the liberal media.(You like that one!) Two men named Jesus. Both claim to be the Messiah. Which one will we follow? Jesus said"Do unto others as others would do unto you". Not "Do unto others before they do you in." We need to follow the Jesus of love not power. Tony Campolo is a voice crying in the wilderness for our day.
