Book Description
“Page-turning . . . Set against the political and religious turmoil of the times, the Thoenes’ story vividly reimagines the evolving friendship between Jesus and Lazarus.” —Publishers Weekly LAZARUS—the man Jesus raised from the dead in one of the most extraordinary encounters with The Living Savior in all of Scripture. But the life of Lazarus holds interest well beyond this miraculous event. Living in Bethany, near Jerusalem, Lazarus witnessed many of the most important events of Jesus’s life and ministry. Lazarus owned a vineyard and devoted his life to caring for its vines and fruit. But he encountered another man—Jesus—whose vineyard was the world, its fruit the eternal souls of men. When Lazarus’s story and the story of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection touch in When Jesus Wept, we are offered a unique vision into the power and comfort of Christ’s love. Brock and Bodie Thoene’s most powerful and climactic writing project to date, When Jesus Wept, captures the power and the passion of the men and women who lived through the most important days in the history of the world.

Book Description
Jesus Wept, Barbara C. Crafton's best-selling and brilliant reflection on faith and depression, is now released in its tenth-anniversary edition, complete with a new foreword by the author, who reflects on the choice she made ten years ago to break the silence and speak openly about her own experience with depression. "I was determined to speak freely about it" she writes. "Many, probably most, of my clergy confreres were - and remain - unwilling to invite such a stigma to take up permanent residence in their resumes. But there are some who know the isolation and despair into which depression can drag a person, and they might benefit from knowing that someone whose whole life has been given to God also knows these things. If that is the case, it's well worth the stigma." Like all human experience, no two courses of depression and healing are the same. Religious belief can make depression easier, but it can also make it harder. It calls our beliefs about ourselves and about God's presence in our lives into painful question. Barbara Crafton's beautiful and candid book addresses these questions head on, reminding her readers that God does not ordain our suffering but instead meets us in our darkest days to compassionately call us toward the light.

To know a person to a very high degree, you need to know what makes them happy, so you can learn to do it, and what makes them sad, so you can avoid it. Jesus, the Son of God, is the visible image of the invisible God. If we want to know what makes God happy, all we have to do is figure out what makes Jesus happy. If we want to know what makes God sad, all we have to do is find out what makes Jesus sad. The events surrounding Lazarus's death and resurrection were so full of meaning and provoked extreme emotions from Jesus. Why did He weep on the way to Lazarus' tomb in Bethany? Could the answer to that question provide humanity clues to a deeper understanding of the divine nature? Reno Omokri unravels this and other issues in this book. The reason Jesus wept is not obvious and will come as a surprise to many. It makes for a very eye opening read and the reader is sure to come away with a much deeper understanding of who God is and what appeals to Him.

Book Description
Nothing is more irritating to young Americans than a judgy, preachy, holier than thou Christian who assumes they know everything about your life, trying to tell you how to live. Not only how to live, but how to think, how to feel, and how to hope. Individually, Christians are usually kind, friendly, and personable; together, they too often have a groupthink mentality and alienate their proselytes.Kids these days aren't putting up with it.Data shows Millennial and Gen Z Americans are abandoning their Churches, choosing to use their Sunday in any way other than organized worship. Older Americans still report going to church regularly, but the gap in attendance between them and the younger Americans is wide-and growing.But here is the thing: Half of Millennials and Gen Z still believe in God with absolute certainty. Only 23 percent say religion is not important in their lives. Most still pray, and two thirds consider heaven to be a reality. Millennials and Gen Z are not anti-religion, they are anti-church.Jesus Wept demonstrates the ways Millennials and Gen Z have become disillusioned by corporate Christianity. Through politics, human, minority, and LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, and a host of other issues, many raised in the church feel the core teachings of love, honesty, charity, and kindness emphasized by Jesus have been replaced. Christianity has been taken over by conservative ideologies, abandoned Jesus' teachings, and now preaches ideas and philosophies never espoused by the Galilean Carpenter.
