Story
We have been taught that salvation is getting man out of Earth to live in heaven when the Bible teaches that God desires to bring heaven to Earth through man. In Here and Now, listeners will journey together to uncover the nucleus of Jesus’ messages, which says the opposite. Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God (both are synonymous as we will see) more than any other topic. No other concept is even close.

Story
One day, my life changed forever. What was the turning point? I realized the importance and power of discipleship. Two men took the time to invest in my life (David Platt - author of Radical and Follow Me, as well as the foreword of my book - and Tim Lafleur). Since then, I have read nearly every book on discipleship, searching for answers to my questions. Now, I want to share my findings with you. Growing Up takes the guesswork out of growing closer to the Lord and equipping others to do the same. This book has the potential to change your life!

Story
The good news of Jesus doesn't stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God's work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it's really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn't only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian.

During Jesus' earthly ministry, one of the primary ways he would instruct his disciples was through parables. People would gather from far and wide in order to listen to what Jesus said about the kingdom of God, and the most common way he would explain the kingdom was in parables. But what does God want us to learn from these parables? In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines several parables of Jesus, exploring the rich truths they reveal about who Jesus is and what he came to achieve through his life, death, and resurrection.

For centuries, the only way to access God’s word was to hear it read aloud in public gatherings.

Verses you have read many times will impact you in a new way when you hear them through the Listener’s Audio Bible (NIV). Read in a single voice with subtle background music, Max McLean’s skillful, engaging, but never over-dramatized style will bring the complete Bible to life.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

The Jesus that will emerge will provoke you to rethink most of what you knew about this gospel.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

Publisher's Summary
Through the years, our understanding of Jesus has been shaped by different cultural influences, and many Christians have forgotten that Jesus was a Jewish man living in a Jewish land, observing Jewish customs, and investing his life into Jewish men and women.
Trading the popular but inaccurate Western perspective of the Bible for the context in which Jesus actually ministered 2,000 years ago, author Robby Gallaty reveals the fascinating Hebraic culture, customs, and nuances many Christians have never experienced or learned about. He works from the premise that we can't truly appreciate the New Testament unless we understand the Old Testament. By uncovering the teaching of the first- and second-century rabbis and Christian theologians, and highlighting little-known Jewish idioms and traditions, Gallaty takes Christians on a biblical journey to rediscover a forgotten Jesus from a biblical perspective, deepening your relationship with God.

Helpful and Balanced
What did you love best about The Forgotten Jesus?
I appreciated the many Hebraic insights offered in this book. It seemed fair and balanced, and I especially appreciated his cautionary conclusion guiding further study and warning of the dangers of sources that might elevate Hebrew cultural studies to the level of Scriptural authority. I found his discussion contrasting the thinking and language of the Greeks vs the Hebrews quite helpful to explain many of the differences I've noticed in my own study of those languages. I very much resonated with his critique of our Greek-esque Western tendency to "educate ourselves beyond obedience." The section on the six major good shepherds (Abel, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David and Amos) that prefigured the Messianic seventh seemed the weakest to me. Why those names and not a Job or Abraham? The selection of six seemed arbitrary though the prophetic role of Messiah as Shepherd I'm convinced is huge. Overall I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others.

This is a MUST READ!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I’m new to Audible, and although I like it, about 1/2 way through, I ordered a paper copy. I’ll be rereading this once it comes in. There’s too much good stuff in here not to fully utilize a highlighter! For anyone who doesn’t have any background in Jewish history, prepare to have your eyes opened. I’ve been studying on this subject for almost a year and learned several more things in here. For those of us who live in America, our minds just don’t naturally go the way of the Jew... and yet, if we’ve accepted Christ, we’re not only serving one, we’ve become (grafted in) one!

Same old Same old
This book presents itself as a radical paradigm shift for western believers. It indeed has many interesting insights, and the author demonstrates extensive biblical and cultural knowledge of 1st century Jewish society; however, it fails to utilize this solid base to argue for anything truly transformative. Everything within these pages has been better argued elsewhere. Even when the author does seem to be hitting on something that could be powerfully transformative to the heart, he seems to gloss over the significance, or lessen its impact by generalizing to the white western reader. Sadly, I don’t think this book takes enough risks, and the result is a slightly more informed portrayal of a Jesus that still fails to capture the spirit’s imagination and inspire soul transformation. I would recommend this book as a first step to someone looking to deepen their Christian perspective, and expand their spiritual walk beyond the confines of a singular western denomination; however, it offers little more than a first step.

The Same Old Apologetic Balogne
As an Atheist who is nonetheless deeply fascinated by the Bible and its original, ancient Hebrew context, I've thoroughly enjoyed books like "The Bible Doesn't Say That" and "Misreading Scripture With Western Eyes." Because even when I strongly disagreed with the author's interpretations and believed that they were excessively coloured by their own religious prejudices and/or agenda, I still gained something from the experience. But in this book on the other hand, Gallaty's argument essentially boils down to nothing but a) "Well Actually, My Unsupported Assertions About Ancient Hebrew Culture Prove That Jesus Did Actually Claim To Be God & Was The Messiah Because I Say So! Checkmate Liberal Christian Scholars!" And b) while the author makes a point of directly criticising Supersessionism, the deeply patronising and Jesus-centric belief that the Old Testament is nothing but the build up to the Crucifixion of Christ. And that therefore, Christians must read the Old Testament in order to fully understand how God's plan to save the world by sacrificing his son was set into motion even before he tested Abraham.
Speaking of Abraham in fact, the way that, like so many other Christian apologists before them, Gallaty reduced the story of his sacrifice of Isaac to a mere 'Preview' of the sacrifice of Jesus genuinely made me laugh out loud as they twisted themselves into the same theological pretzels that Christians have knotted themselves into for Millennia in their desperate struggle to depict it as an act of 'Love.' (Never mind the fact that according to recent scholarship, in the original version of the story, Abraham 'DID' sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering. And the ending in which an angel stopped him was only added by a later editor because the Israelites had banned human sacrifice in the meantime.)
Beyond the apologetic gymnastics though, the fact that the author didn't even attempt to understand or explain the original, ancient Hebrew meaning and significance of the story in its own context, genuinely believing that the 'ONLY' reason that it was ever told was so that later Christians could see a parallel with Jesus was deeply disheartening. And after that, the author's unquestioning acceptance of Matthew's totally made up 'Prophecy' about Jesus being called 'The Nazarene' (in spite of also making up a contradictory story of him being born in Bethlehem,) and of the long debunked 'Branch' apologetic that was invented to explain it killed any respect that I had left for them, along with any hope that I had left for this book. Because when a Christian gushes about the amazing prophecy fulfilments of the New Testament, asking the rest of us to explain how stories written down decades after Jesus' death by Greek speaking Jews who probably had a copy of the Septuagint open while they were writing (hence mistranslating 'Young/Unmarried Woman' as 'Virgin,' etc,) could possibly echo, reflect and fulfil the prophecies of the Old Testament so completely, (and yet still so inaccurately and messily that they had to literally 'Invent' at least one prophecy that they claimed was fulfilled,) then you know that you're wasting your time.

Good but too Evangelical
I found this book to be too biased towards American Evangelicalism. It seemed like it was written with an American Christian audience in mind.
