Millions follow Jesus.
Far fewer know what he said.
What Jesus Taught is for the believer who reads the Bible every morning, and carries a nagging suspicion that the Jesus being preached on Sunday is thinner and safer than the Jesus who walked out of Nazareth.
This book strips away the cultural noise, the political co-opting, and the sentimental softening, and goes straight to the text. Chapter by chapter, it walks readers through the core of what Jesus taught, in his own words, so you can discover the full weight and the full freedom of what it means to follow him.
A clear, honest, scripture-grounded guide that walks believers through what Jesus actually taught, so they can stop settling for a smaller version of him.
