Jesus Speaks to a World in Turmoil is a fast-moving journalistic story of Jesus, whose unchanging voice of reason is needed more than ever when the daily news is consumed with threats to life and liberty. The historic, yet timeless teachings of Jesus Christ are relevant to solving many of the manmade problems in a world marred by hatred and violence. Yet modern culture, at the time of this book's release in late 2014, is marked by widespread indifference to the Christ sent to earth 2000 years ago to show people a better way. He is frequencly misrepresented, mocked, politicized and ignored, and his teaching of a superior lifestyle founded on the love of God and neighbor goes largely unheard. Massive global resurgence of persecution against Christians leaves no room for complacency. It is a critically important time to take a new look at who Christ is, and to examine why he called on everyone who cares (believers in God) to serve as healing salt in a troubled world. The author, Arline Phillips-Han, has transitioned to Christian journalism after a career of 33 years in health science writing and public relations for the University of Florida Health Science Center in Gainesville, FL.
