Domesticated Jesus /
Kraus, Harry Lee, 1960-
Domesticated Jesus / Harry L. Kraus, Jr. - Phillipsburg, N.J. : P&R Pub., c2010. - 204 p. ; 22 cm.
I don't want to grow up : domesticating Jesus by my own immature faith -- On pedestals and plastic smiles : domesticating Jesus by acting Christian -- The bigness of the real Jesus : domesticating Jesus by underestimating his power -- A very big gospel plan, part 1 : domesticating Jesus by wallowing in guilt -- An unpredictable, miraculous Jesus : domesticating Jesus in a safe, scientific box -- A very big gospel plan, part 2 : domesticating Jesus by underestimating the power of the gospel -- "But whatif?" : domesticating Jesus by our own worry -- Losing control : domesticating Jesus in our anger -- The security of sameness : domesticating Jesus by not trusting the one who holds the future -- Yawning in the presence of a mighty God : the reason we are complacent in Sunday worship -- Down, but not out : domesticating Jesus by hiding our sin -- Grace is the key to overcoming nagging addictions : domesticating Jesus by walking in our own strength -- The gospel of the domesticated Jesus : it's really all about me, isn't it? -- When hope falters : discouragement when Jesus is small -- Short-circuiting the flow of grace : domesticating Jesus by our bitterness -- Fire-escape Christianity : domesticating Jesus by living by my rules -- Incarnation : the most amazing domestication of all.
It's incredible, but the modern church has largely suceeded in domesticating Jesus . We have swapped a God-glorifying gospel for a lesser gospel where I is the central character. Harry's honest, fresh, and involving journey of self-discovery helps you understand how his, and your, compromises have led to a down-grading of Jesus role in our lives. --from publisher description
