Erwin Raphael McManus Knihy

Představte si, že jste v životě vykonali vše, co jste vykonat měli. Že jste žili odvážně a směle, přijímali jste všechny krásné i těžké chvíle, žili jste naplno. Teď jste na konci a můžete s vděčností Bohu a v pokoji vydechnout naposled. Chtěli byste prožít takový život? Přesně k tomu vás zve kniha Poslední šíp. Když král Izraele navštívil již starého a umírajícího proroka Elíšu, dostal od něj zvláštní instrukce: měl vzít do ruky šípy a udeřit s nimi do země. Udeřil třikrát a přestal. Jeho chabá snaha mu nakonec přinesla jen částečné vítězství v bitvě. Erwin McManus se s pomocí této biblické ilustrace zamýšlí nad tím, jak žijeme svůj vlastní život a jak bychom jej možná chtěli žít.

"A groundbreaking manifesto on the countless ways Jesus of Nazareth transformed our world--and empowers us to live lives of courage, purpose, and grace today. From the bestselling author of The Last Arrow and The Way of the Warrior. In every realm of our existence--art, technology, mathematics--we are captivated by stories of genius. Geniuses violate the status quo, destabilize old ways of thinking, and ultimately disrupt history by making us see the world differently. We see this effect when we consider the canon of history's great geniuses, from Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs. But when we look for the genius who left the most lasting impact on human life--our search for truth; our desire to know who we are; our notion that happiness is about more than seeking to serve ourselves--we inevitably encounter Jesus. Despite having lived in obscurity for most his life, Jesus of Nazareth is undeniably one of the most influential people to have ever walked the face of the earth. In The Genius of Jesus, Erwin Raphael McManus asks: what would happen if we studied and emulated Jesus, not only through the lens of his divinity, but as a genius who showed us what it means to live fully human? Drawing on scripture, history, and stories from his own ministry, McManus dives into the nuances of Jesus's words and actions, showing how they can not only inspire us, but transform how we think about humility, freedom, and the purpose that makes our lives worth living. For Christians who want to better know and understand their faith, or for readers who want to create their most powerful future, The Genius of Jesus is a thought-provoking study of the most important person who ever lived"-- Provided by publisher

Two thousand years later the call to follow Christ has been repackaged to be smooth and trouble-free, filled with opportunity and promise but lacking risk, passion, and sacrifice. Is this really what Jesus died for? If He chose the way of the cross, where would He hesitate leading us? Is it possible that to follow Jesus is to choose the barbarian way? Jesus never made a pristine call to a proper or safe religion. Jesus beckons His followers to a path that is far from the easy road. It is a path filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities?the only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of your heart. This is the barbarian way: to give your heart to the only One who can make you fully alive. To love Him with simplicity and intensity. To unleash the untamed faith within. To be consumed by the presence of a passionate and compassionate God. To go where He sends you, no matter the cost.
