Finding the Way Again

from Finding the Way Again It’s not too late to discover the lost gospel of Jesus and begin to live by it to change our direction to once again become people of the way. We could with humility embody compassion and justice. We could so completely trust God that we dare to share what we have with those in need love those who hate us bless those who curse us. What’s been lost can be found again. Do we dare? Can we hear the call clearly and be so moved we must respond? If we sense that something profound and precious has been lost we can do something about it. It’s like a treasure that’s been lost long since buried in a field. All we have to do is go and sell all we have and buy the field. My goal with this intentionally simple slim volume (based on scholarship but not bogged down by notes and references) is to attempt to remove that which has obscured hidden and even replaced Jesus and his radical revolution extricating him from the stiflingly narrow religious context that all but silences him so his message can reverberate around us resonate within us. There is hope. This can happen. If Jesus teaches us anything it is that which was once dead can live again that which was lost can be found.
