"This is a little gem of a book. It is a short cut in concentrating Christ's directions for us today. It's particularly meaningful in our society where Jesus' words have frequently been hijacked. The author writes concisely on what have been "sound bytes" of the faith, people in our secular culture using these quotes without knowing either the source or the context. Reading this book is like having your own personal Bible teacher in the room with you." Carol Pohl, Retired Teacher, Green Valley, AZ. "This book clearly shows us Jesus spoke truth even when it hurt His popularity or endangered His life. This highly engaging and affirming book will open your eyes to Jesus' great relevancy in our world. Rev. Ed Einem, drawing upon almost 50 years of experience as a Lutheran pastor, dealing with people from many backgrounds and cultures, offers an insightful look into some of Jesus difficult sayings. You will be rewarded by taking a second look at some of Jesus' difficult sayings in this book. Or, if you are totally unfamiliar with Jesus' sayings you will be rewarded by getting to know Jesus whose name is the most well known in the world, but whose Person is still largely unknown to most." Rev Bruce Lieske, Pastor, Author, Winter Haven, FL. The Rev. Edward H. Einem, a Chaplain and Lutheran minister lives in Livonia, Michigan and is the founder of the ministry Project Compassion, which addresses the needs of the elderly who live in institutional settings.

Like his original hearers many people today find Jesus' sayings hard. Some sayings are hard because they are difficult to understand, others because the demands they make on us are only too clear. F. F. Bruce examines seventy of the hard sayings of Jesus to clear away the cultural and historical difficulties which keep us from grappling with the real challenge of Jesus' message. Evident in each chapter is Bruce's keen evangelical scholarship and pastoral insight.

The words that Jesus said, as recorded in Mark's Gospel, are occasionally assigned second place to what he did. The author has chosen to discuss the words rather than the actions of Jesus. Since Mark's Gospel is so brief, Vicar Phil believes that Mark has chosen the most crucial words of Jesus for his Gospel and that they are directed squarely at each of us and the twenty-first-century church. 2

"I am glad to commend Stephen Sizer's groundbreaking critique of Christian Zionism. His comprehensive overview of its roots, its theological basis, and its political consequences is very timely. I myself believe that Zionism, both political and Christian, is incompatible with biblical faith. Stephen's book has helped to reinforce this conviction."--Rev. Dr. John Stott"I believe Stephen Sizer is one of the most authoritative scholars in the world on the vital issue of Christian Zionism. He is a very important voice speaking out against this destructive movement that is killing us [Palestinians] through its theology." --Canon Naim Ateek"Stephen Sizer's Christian Zionism: Road Map to Armageddon? is essential reading for any Western evangelical trying to understand the religious dimensions of American support for Israel. Sizer writes as an insider within the church, not as a critic watching from afar. And he shows with exacting clarity how evangelical eschatology has now embedded itself in a modern political ideology. One quick read of this book will change anyone's perspective on the Middle East permanently." --Professor Gary M. Burge"Congratulations on Christian Zionism. The index alone makes my mouth water, since this is the scholarly treatment to counteract the rabid prophecy pack for which I had been searching. I couldn't be happier that this is published. You and I see eye to eye on this issue. . . . Yours is a true prophetic voice so badly needed in the current prophecy frenzy. And when this mania also affects national and international policy, the danger takes on larger proportions."--Professor Paul Maier"Stephen Sizer's work on Christian Zionism is the most important and comprehensive on the subject to date and should be read by all students of the Middle East and by Christians concerned about a just resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Christian Zionism raises vital theological and political challenges that must be addressed head-on by Christians in the West, particularly evangelicals. The impact of this terribly misguided movement is increasingly putting Christians in the Middle East at risk, and it seems a far cry from the witness and message of Jesus Christ."--Dr Donald Wagner"This study of Christian Zionism, based on Stephen Sizer's doctoral thesis, is of seminal significance. It provides a fascinating survey of the history of Christian Zionism and an in-depth analysis of the theology of this highly important and influential movement."--Rabbi Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok

Like the Jefferson Bible, The Complete Sayings of Jesus Christ is an attempt to edit the four gospels into a consistent account, in this case focusing on the words of Jesus. Many readers arrive at the end of the New Testament with but a hazy picture of Christ and a sketchy outline of the times. This book places all of Jesus' saying in chronological order, stripping away the context that was provided by those who were not Jesus thus revealing a new context.
