The Smell of Sin

<P>An old man saws through his right ankle.</P><P>A smooth-skinned boy lies to his father's face.</P><P>Fetid tombs harsh slavery fatal choking . . . these images come right from the words of Jesus! They are word pictures Jesus asks listeners to imagine.</P><P>But why?</P><P>Why did Jesus paint such vivid pictures when he talked about sin? And why did he make them so sobering-and downright gory at times?</P><P>In <I>The Smell of Sin</I> Don Everts seriously tackles these stark images coming face to face with Jesus' clear graphic theology of sin. It's a view of sin that might make you uncomforable. But a collision with this hard truth may be just what you need.</P>
