John Ortberg

History & Biography

“”A burning bush of a book, where a butcher shop becomes a temple and a bully gets saved in the funniest conversion story I have ever read. It is extravagantly well-written, but that is one of its least important features. It is a window, fashioned by a master craftsman, through which we glimpse footprints of the One who still walks in the garden in the cool of the day.”

What Made Jesus Mad?

Christian Living

“Tim Harlow has written a book that asks the provocative question of what makes Jesus mad. The short answer is: us. At least, those of us who claim to follow him but so often get it wrong.
