Author Greg Garrett suggests another way, arguing that a faith that focuses solely on personal morality and the afterlife misses much of the point of Jesus' message.\u003cp\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eother\u003c\/i\u003e way of following Christ is not concerned with an array of commandments or with holding the right beliefs. Rather it is centered on loving each other and loving God, what Garrett calls love where the rubber meets the road, where faith meets the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonal and moving, the book relates Garrett's experiences growing up in--and leaving--a disapproving conservative church and then finding his way back into a different kind of Christian community, one that is communal, missional, just, and loving. Garrett draws on popular culture to illustrate his spiritual points, showing how authentic Christian truth can be found in unlikely places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664234041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greg Garrett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40550724305077,"sku":"9780664234041","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bd4901db-c1bc-4592-94b3-dc4726e2c52b.jpg?v=1626792064","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-other-jesus-rejecting-a-religion-of-fear-for-the-god-of-love-9780664234041","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
