Synopsis

In one night, I lost it all. I lost my family, friends, career, future, and hope. After investing fifteen years of my life into the church that I loved, I found myself out in the cold and all alone. The next ten years sent me into a tailspin of anger, bitterness, and resentment. Inch by inch, the monster inside began to take on more ground until I became a different person altogether. No matter how hard I fought to keep myself alive, I lost traction. But deep within my hardened heart was a thread of hope that God still loved me. In my journey, I rediscovered some wonderful truths that brought me face to face with the one who loves and desires to restore broken lives.Loved by some - hated by the rest. According to the religious leaders of His day, Jesus tarnished their view of God and they hated Him for it. He claimed to be the Son of God, yet He kept hanging out with the slum of society. On the flip side, Jesus burst forth with such power and love for those who were trampled on in life. A look into the gospels shows to us that when people came to Jesus they were cleansed and forgiven. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.” That is the Church's calling – but why is it that in churches today, they are known more for what they stand against rather than what they stand for? Could it be that the “religious” people today and churches have become the greatest obstacle for the hurting to find love? Will the Real Jesus Please Stand up? is a book about how the readers can experience Jesus in the midst of their pain and mistakes. A rediscovery of Jesus will not only deepen our intimacy and worship of Him, but call us back to the one who can truly restore our broken lives. The real meaning of Christianity is to bring us to a place where we can find wholeness and be set free and fully alive.
