Jesus Mean And Wild The Unexpected Love of an Untamable God

God loves you and has a wonderful difficult plan for your life."Mark writes of a Jesus that is unleashed, untamed, undomesticated, and unpredictable. I want to know this Jesus, though he scares me a little."--John Ortberg, teaching pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church"In this wonderfully provocative book, Galli recovers a more multifaceted portrait of Jesus, insisting that Jesus's plan for our lives is demanding and difficult--and in that difficulty we find real love. This is not an easy book to read, because it promises to change you and your relationship with God. And I, for one, am very, very grateful that I read it. I know I will be reading it again."--Lauren F. Winner, author, Girl Meets God and Real Sex"Galli reads widely, writes winningly, and expounds Jesus convincingly. Finally, a Jesus who was potent enough to cause commotion and even (temporary) chaos."--Scot McKnight, author, The Jesus Creed and Embracing Grace"Can he say that? Galli's vigorous presentation of the 'mean and wild' aspects of Jesus arises from a justified impatience with a faith too often soggy. 'Mean and wild' are in the eye of the beholder, of course, but this volume will help clear our vision to behold a Lord who is anything but tame."--Frederica Mathewes-Green, author, The Illumined Heart: The Ancient-Christian Path of Transformation; www.frederica.comGalli, Mark is the author of 'Jesus Mean And Wild The Unexpected Love of an Untamable God', published 2006 under ISBN 9780801012846 and ISBN 0801012848.
