The author of a new book, Passenger Side: Putting Jesus Christ in Charge of Your Life discusses the joy and frustration of commiting your life to Jesus. Read more about the book here.
The author of a new book examines how Jesus has been seized upon and distorted by the religious right, even to the point of promoting hate and prejudice, things that the historical Jesus would never participate in.

There’s a new Jesus novel available, titled “Jesus: A Novel.” The reviewer here seems to think that it’s a good read, go check it out.
Well, words to that effect. Apparently there is a book titled “What Jesus Meant” by Garry Willis. Personally, I wasn’t there and I wasn’t Jesus (that I know of…) so I think it would be difficult for me to know what Jesus meant, but hey, kudos to Garry for pulling it off.
I just read a press release for a new book, Myths We Live By: From the Life and Times of Jesus and Paul By Andrew C. Delos.
This is an interesting idea but I don’t know anything about the author and can’t vouch for his authority on this subject. He claims to be an accomplished author and professor but is using a pen name for his own reasons. Still, it sounds pretty interesting and the author touches on some things like how Jesus wasn’t born in Bethlehem and how Paul was a great PR man for Jesus and turned him into the Son of God.
