EP 97: Leonard Sweet - Bad Habits of Jesus

<p>Welcome to The Shaun Tabatt Show! In this episode I speak with popular global speaker and prolific author Leonard Sweet about his new book <em><a href="http://amzn.to/2fNX7TV" target="_blank">The Bad Habits of Jesus: Showing Us the Way to Live Right in a World Gone Wrong</a></em> (Tyndale, 2016).<br /> <br /> <strong>About the Book:</strong>  Did Jesus have bad habits?<br /> <br /> In our culture, we have a tendency to describe Jesus in ways that soften his revolutionary edge. Len Sweet uncovers and presents to us the offensive and scandalous Jesus described in the Bible.</p> <ul> <li>Did he disappear when people needed him most? Yes.</li> <li>Did he refuse to answer questions directly? Yes.</li> <li>Did Jesus offend the people of his day? Absolutely, yes.</li> </ul> <p>Popular author and speaker Len Sweet examines the words and actions of Jesus and places them in context. We need to understand who Jesus really is if we are to follow him wholeheartedly. That is why it is so crucial to see the "rebellious rabbi" for who he is and not for who we may imagine him to be.<br /> <br /> <em>The Bad Habits of Jesus</em> will help you see the untamed Jesus, who isn't sanitized for our culture. That Jesus just might transform how you live out your life.<br /> <br /> <strong>About the Author:</strong>  Leonard Sweet is a popular global speaker and prolific author, and he holds professorships at George Fox University, Drew University, and Tabor College.
