The Radical Invitation of Jesus: How Accepting the Invitation of Jesus Can Lead to Living Faith and Fulfilling Life for Today

The book addresses the way we are able to understand the radical invitation of Jesus. The invitation is to those who heard Jesus in the first century the intervening centuries and those in the twenty-first century urging them to turn away from a life that is self-centered and to seek a life that is God-centered accepting the reign of God in ones life rather than wealth pleasure power and fame. Jesus says that we are to seek first the kingdom of God and all of our basic needs will be met being transformed and finding meaning and purpose in our lives. The invitation is radical in that it calls on us to give up the accepted norms and values of our culture and world and give ourselves to a life of integrity and truthfulness love and compassion and justice and peace. We are invited to find our true identity to be filled with and transformed by the God of love and to become one who is filled with grace and truth as Jesus was.
