ReJesus: Remaking the Church in Our Founder's Image

by Michael Frost, Alan Hirsch, Christine Caine (Foreword by)

Overview

OUR CHURCHES NEED REJESUSING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.



We live in a fractured and divided world. Nationalism and political extremism are rife in the church, scandals involving well-known Christian leaders are on the rise, and ideologies and idolatries abound. Badge and brand are espoused more than servanthood and sacrificial love.

In this timely revised and updated edition, Frost and Hirsch get to the root of these issues, exposing the many ways we have formed Jesus in our own image and co-opted him for our own agendas. ReJesus is a clarion call to recenter our lives on Christ so that we might become a people who look, act, think, and sound like Jesus.

Now more than ever, our world needs a church remade in our Founder's image.

Editorial Reviews

Maybe the most important task for the Western church right now is to reclaim the centrality of the person of Jesus-his life, mission, kingdom, and invitation to discipleship. With so much disillusionment around church, getting our eyes back on Jesus and being transformed into his likeness with fresh vision and wonder is essential. In ReJesus, Alan and Michael call you to this exact vision. Both compelling and inspiring, this is a beautiful reminder of who Jesus is and what he calls us to.

JON TYSON, AUTHOR, BEAUTIFUL RESISTANCE; LEAD PASTOR, CHURCH OF THE CITY NEW YORK

There really isn't anything Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost write that I don't read. And that's saying a lot since they are both prolific writers! Alan and Michael are prophetic voices who are making a way for the King to emerge center stage again. ReJesus has a whimsical quality of wise, lived theology that invites us to reimagine the kingdom and to live the kingdom. This is what sets these guys apart from many other theological voices. The truth found in these pages has power to change things, starting with us.

DANIELLE STRICKLAND, FOUNDER, WOMEN SPEAKERS COLLECTIVE AND INFINITUM; AUTHOR OF NUMEROUS BOOKS ON MISSION, SPIRITUALITY, AND LEADERSHIP

This is the book that church leaders must read over and over again. There is a need for a rediscovery of Christ and the mission of the church that rescues us from a counterfeit gospel and propels us toward the authentic advancement of the kingdom of God. Frost and Hirsch offer one important resource for the journey.

EFREM SMITH, CO-SENIOR PASTOR, MIDTOWN CHURCH; AUTHOR, THE POST-BLACK AND POST-WHITE CHURCH

Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost pull back the curtains on the sins and structures that entangle us and call the church to Christoformity-the way of reJesusing. In a world where the church is bleeding out young people, the clarion call to reJesus is perhaps needed more than ever. Hirsch and Frost write with a love for the church and a contagious love for Jesus. Every Christian needs this on their bookshelf.

TARA BETH LEACH, AUTHOR, RADIANT CHURCH

It's hard to imagine how a book about Jesus could be ahead of its time, but this

one somehow was. It feels more critical now than when I first read it a decade ago. We so need it. And it is precisely this kind of focus on and fascination with Jesus that, in every era, is both the tinder and the match for revival.

BRIAN SANDERS, FOUNDER, UNDERGROUND CHURCH; AUTHOR, UNDERGROUND CHURCH

In a day when ideologies and idolatries abound, Frost and Hirsch winsomely, prophetically, and wholeheartedly compel us to reorient ourselves to Jesus. This updated edition contains brilliant insights into the considerable and glaring issues currently facing the church. A timely and paramount work!

LISA RODRIGUEZ-WATSON, NATIONAL DIRECTOR, MISSIO ALLIANCE

In a time when the Christian faith finds itself twisted and torn by the cyclonic winds of cultural compromise and syncretism, ReJesus challenges us to throw our idols and ideologies overboard, and instead look to our master Jesus, the only one who can silence the storm and captain us to the open seas of living water
