Publisher's Description
Stop being a poser. Start being a Christian. Is your faith for real? How about your walk? If everyone who claimed to love Jesus actually did, this world would be pretty close to paradise. Yet we live in a time when being a poser is not only easy, it’s rewarded—especially where Jesus is concerned. But claiming to love Jesus without following him is bogus, fraudulent, and—frankly—it’s not you. God has called you to be set apart, to live authentically, to walk a genuine Jesus Swagger. He wants followers, not pretenders. From Christian blogger Jarrid Wilson, Jesus Swagger is about calling out the phony, showing the pretender the door, and letting Jesus in instead. If you are suspicious of your own motivations, your own talk, or even your own Christianity, it’s time to be honest, come clean, and get real. It’s time to take the Jesus Swagger litmus test and start walking the walk.

“It’s encouraging to me that in a sea of loud voices, there are fresh, honest perspectives like Jarrid Wilson’s breaking through the clutter!”
“What Jarrid does have here is a book that lays it out there for all of us to realize that living a life for Jesus isn’t something we’re to be ashamed of. It’s something to be proud of. To live for. To die for. I love this book!”
“Jarrid Wilson is a fresh and powerful new voice in the church today. His call to authentic faith is something we should all listen to and learn from. I’m grateful for how he models the walk of faith.”
“Jesus Swagger is a punch to the gut of mediocre Christianity.”
“Readers beware: Jarrid Wilson doesn’t pull any punches. If you are a poser preacher, bogus believer, or faker follower who wants to be left alone to live an inauthentic life pretending to be someone someone you’re not, stay as far away from this book as possible. Jesus Swagger will kick you out of your comfort zone, force you to face your fears, and catapult you into a more honest existence. Put it down right now so you can keep being the impostor God never called you to be.”
“I’m excited about this book! My friend Jarrid has written a super book. Jesus Swagger is a call to love and action. You’ll be glad you bought this book.”
“Finally—a book that acknowledges the distinction between a religious poser and someone who actually looks like Jesus. I’ve been waiting a long time for a book like this, and I bet you have too.”
“For many of us, there is a gap between the relationship with God we have and the relationship with God we thought we’d have when we first started following Jesus. The Christian life we’re living isn’t what we’d thought it would be. We lost our swagger. Jesus Swagger closes that gap and reintroduces us to a Jesus that loves us with a transformative love. Read this book. Fall in love with Jesus all over again. Be a part of His life-changing movement.”
“Too often, Christians get caught up speaking their own language, and have trouble communicating the gospel in the language of culture. In the wake of Jesus and the apostle Paul, Jarrid redeems culture’s lingo to teach a new generation how to love Jesus well. As he does with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, Jarrid boldly, clearly, and wittingly points to the amazing gospel in this book, and helps you see where you may or may not be faking your faith, so you can learn to love Jesus for real. The world can get things so wrong. We ourselves, without the light of Christ, can get things so wrong. Jarrid calls us to true swagger, the greatest way any man or woman can carry themselves: not just talking the talk, but walking the walk. No posers allowed.”
“Knowing and talking with Jarrid Wilson has not only been a blessing in my life, but I can see and know that what he is doing is going to be a blessing to others. What he is ministering about in Jesus Swagger is what people need to hear. It’s about being Christ-like and not conforming to the ways of the world. He models his walk with God the same way, letting his Light shine bright.”
“Jarrid Wilson helps readers move from being a sideline fan to becoming a passionate follower of Jesus. Wherever you are on your faith journey, Jesus Swagger offers a fresh and innovative reality check on whether you’re affecting the culture or the culture is infecting you. You’re going to hear much from Jarrid Wilson in years to come, get in on the action early and check out this book.”
“Jarrid Wilson, with authenticity and a heart to lift high the name of Jesus, has written a book that will inspire you to follow King Jesus more completely! As a professional soccer player for the last eight years, it has been a constant struggle to not place my identity in the game. We are not what we do. Instead, we are who God created us to be . . . children of the One true God. Jarrid Wilson communicates this powerful truth in such a refreshing and authentic way. I challenge you to break free from poser Christianity and rock your Jesus Swagger like only you can! This book is a must read!”
