Jacket Description/Back:
Somewhere along the way we traded following Jesus for creating a tame, moldable, silent Jesus who doesn't mind following us.
The church's waning influence on the culture is directly connected to Jesus' waning influence on the church.
Allow me to reintroduce this Jesus.
To recast Christianity in a land of so many misrepresentations makes the truth sound like a reinterpretation.
But dangerous impostors will give way to what's more dangerous: the real Jesus.
Commendation Quotes:
This work will move you towards Jesus first. Towards people second. Away from yourself and into a better version that is ready to die to the easy Christianity that's popular. This book is a land mine, a double-edged sword, a cultural critique, and theological commentary. KB has the pen of a writer and the heart of a shepherd.--Jackie Hill Perry

No one was more dangerous than the Lord Jesus.
From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness. He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound. His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him.
Jesus was so dangerous, the powers that be killed Him.
Today, our generation is seeing a surge of people walking away from the Christian faith. But what's repelling people isn't Jesus; it's that what is often propagated as mainstream Christianity is simply not worthy of His name.
Jesus is the most admired figure in history. He is also the most ignored, weaponized, reinterpreted, and misappropriated figure in history. The question is . . . who do you think He is?
In Dangerous Jesus, Kevin "KB" Burgess--award-winning rapper, podcaster, and international speaker--reintroduces us to the true Jesus, the one who poses a living threat to the status quo. He's a threat to our division. He's a threat to our rebellion. He is the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room. His love is so strong, it's intoxicating. His truth is so good, it sets people free.
We need to reconnect with this Jesus.
We need to become a threat to the threats.
We need to be dangerous.
If you're ready to meet the real Jesus . . . If you're ready to join in the fight . . . If you want to make the church a genuine threat to evil once again . . . join KB in Dangerous Jesus and encounter the enemy-loving, world-changing, good-dangerous Savior. |
