DESCRIPTION:
Stolen Jesus does not shy away from the hurts inflicted by messed-up religion, yet this is the funniest Christian book I have read. “When the grace of God collides with our candid admission of failure, the result is often laughter and joy. Thank God for honest authors like Jami Amerine who are brave enough to write about life as it is.” —Paul Ellis, author of Stuff Jesus Never Said
Jami Stole JesusAnd Jesus Stole Jami Let's be honest. With designer coffee in hand or your jar of pickles for lunch. But when she met Real Jesus, everything changed. (Oh, and Stolen Jesus? He sits on Jami's mantel. Just ask Jami Amerine. The journey to discovering Jesus—Real Jesus—can be complicated, messy, and a little crazy. You'll get to meet Him too!). (Jami will tell you that story in chapter 1.) If you've ever felt confused by the conflicting representations of Jesus you've encountered in the world, you're invited to join Jami's quest to release all the wrong ideas and get to know Jesus as He really is—bewildering grace and all. Banned from the Mormon church as a child, she's spent the rest of her life trying to reconcile Fifth-Grade Jesus, Catholic Jesus, and Americanized Jesus (just to name a few). You can meet Him too—right here, just as you are
