"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.
