How well do we really know Jesus and understand his message? Most of us are fairly confident we've got the essentials down, but what if they're our essentials, not his?

In this profound book - at once disturbing, exciting, provocative and inspiring - Steve Chalke calls us to deep self-examination and a rediscovery of the nature of Jesus and the Kingdom of God. Taking away our cultural lenses, Chalke lets us see Jesus through first-century eyes and reveals how far we've drifted from his revolutionary gospel. Encountering his teachings as the people of his time and culture did, newly minted and powerful, we discover at last the irresistable hope and transformation Jesus brought to the downtrodden, the lonely, the forgotten, and the untouchable.

The Lost Message of Jesus points us back to the heart of God, freeing us to proclaim genuinely good news to a world that desperately longs to hear it.
